The Egyptians wore death masks because they believed in the afterlife. They believed that the soul only came back to the body if it could recognize it. The death mask was a picture of the person inside the sarcophagus so that the soul would go back to that person in the afterlife.

Because it would have a face for the afterlife and the cobra would protect them from the enemies called asp and the bird would be very close to god.
