This one reminded me of the Skeksis from The Dark Crystal. 🙂
Currently on loan to the Met Museum for the Divine Egypt exhibition from the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford. Interestingly the object description and details differ quite a bit in this exhibit and the museum page: https://collections.ashmolean.org/object/450671
I used the exhibit details guessing the narrower time range is the more up to date data.
