Tamara, the restoration of the Mask of Agamemnon was probably a huge blow to everyone that was interested in learning about the ancient Aegean artwork. Do you think he could have faced consequences of some sort for altering it when he “restored’ the mask? I’d imagine that if somebody claimed to restore a famous piece of artwork today, but ended up making it their own, they’d be faced with a lot of unhappy people.
