Within this text Wilkinson explores Moore's early influences as an inspiration for this alabaster carving, including the stone corbels outside of St Oswald's Church, Methley, as well as the effigy figures of Lord and Lady Welles within. He also notes the physical resemblances between the mask and Pre-Columbian, African and Oceanic sculpture that Moore had viewed before this period.
