In this study, methods of inspection and analysis were employed to pinpoint the elements of painted wooden mask from the Greco-Roman era as well as to pinpoint the production process. Scanning electron microscope (SEM-EDX) , Optical microscope (OM), infrared (IR), and Raman microscopes were used for inspection and analysis. Through the findings, it was discovered that the black color was made by burning bones, which was one of the uncommon procedures. The red hue is derived from hematite. The mask's construction included sycamore wood. One of the local woods that were used extensively was sycamore.
