Egyptian portrait or funeral masks were made of wood, plaster, cartonnage, or even precious metals such as gold. This site has more information.

Gold
In my social studies class we learned that it was specifically cartonnage. But also it can be made out of wood and plaster. Also it was decorated in gold, not made of gold. So cartonnage was the most common material used. If that helps you in any way.
