Memory mask

A Memory mask is a traditional Hapšâw'l casting of the face, typically made of copper. The mold is usually created when a person is nearing death, or very soon after after their death, before burial. Memory masks are common among the more affluent of Hapšâw's residents, traditionally they were commissioned by royals and rich landowners, but in the modern day many non-royal rich families are choosing to get memory masks of their relatives. Traditionally the masks were made of copper, and it, along with bronze, remains the most popular choice of metal, however currently some choose to cast them out of more valuable metals, such as iron, gold or silver.

The oldest surviving memory mask dates to the 380s TT, it portrays a wealthy landowner from Vinhâ, named Turamal. The practice gained considerable popularity after Mi wê Nêmân Matere commisioned one of his late father. Since then every king of Tokšahalna has had a memory mask, the kings of Goyhalna followed suit, with haGêšârâ Džakson recieving one after his death.

The mask traditionally starts below the base of the horns and extends down to the chin, however masks of non-Hapšâw'l people may include the forehead, for example Joruym'n Adn-Yus Olodhoi a'Gweh's memory mask extends to his hairline.
