That was the first thing that hit me about it... the Thayer Mask. There was one on ebay for quite a long time, up until recently (with a $5,000 min bid). I am not sure whether it sold, or if the seller simply took it off the market.
I also believe there are certainly more than 2 survivng Thayer Mask examples, although the real number could well be under 10. Cool piece!
