A reader wanted to know if this mask in his possession is a likeness of St. Joan of Arc.
"This mask came into my collection, and is said to be Joan d’Arc. Would you have any idea, or where I may find out? I have been told it is a religious saint by the ring around the face, and the stars. Also, pictures of Joan I have seen look very similar. Also she has a very Norman nose shape. Also, the face is of a small person. Maybe 5 foot or 5’2"? Of course she was burned at the stake, so…..life mask?”

Kolam dance mask. Sinhalese kolam dances are comic folk tales performed at dusk. The masks' vivid colours shine through the low lamplight to help the audience identify the characters. Sri Lanka, early to mid 19th century.
Inspired by Pacific Northwest indegenous art and by Loki Eliot's fantastic Fantasy Faire region, the Spirit Valley of Kuruk, Spyralle introduces a new, original creation, the Raven Mask.
All proceeds go to the Relay for Life for the American Cancer Society.
In the tradition of transforming masks, the raven face opens to reveal an inner human mask.
Mask-making is open to graduate and undergraduate students and is taught by Assistant Professor of Costume Design Yao Chen. Students were introduced to the art and craft of making mask using the products thermoplastic, liquid latex and other principal mediums. They had the opportunity to choose their own projects. During the semester, the students created a plaster face cast, learned to sculpt in “wet clay”, formed the mask in thermoplastic, and prepared the mask to be worn while learning the basic elements of design: line, proportion, balance, mass.
Left: Caricature Mask
Guatemala, Alta Vera Paz state, Sa Pedro Carcha
Made by 1951
Wood, pigment, paper, gilt metal
Process: carved, painted, recycled
This carved wooden mask of a male face has highly exaggerated features. The golden moustache erupts in two tendrils from the large convex nose, the almond shaped eyes are set wide apart on the bulging pink skin. It is possible that this dance mask represents a local stereotype of the brutal European overseer of the coffee plantations, where the Kekchi and other native groups lived as forced labourers.
Right: Caricature Mask
Guatemala, Alta Vera Paz state, Sa Pedro Carcha
Made by 1951
Wood, pigment, glass
Process: carved, painted, perforated
This caricature mask takes the form of an oval shaped male face. The figure is hairless, instead large swirling eyebrows and a heavy beard and moustache frame the face. The eyes are a piercing blue and are made from inset glass. The expression is fierce, emphasised by the carved furrowed brow and creasing of the skin around the flaring pierced nostrils. This caricature represents a type of locally recognised foreigner.

my first leather mask! I am so addicted...........
I was blessed with all the tools i needed for this new addiction from my neighbor who was cleaning out his storage unit, So after a month at staring at all the boxes I just dove in.
Its not perfect and I still have to figure out the dyeing process and lots of other techniques and a zillion of other factors but its a new adventure and really fun!
Fox mask made by nakupelle. Artist: Minna Matilda. Part of a collection made for Osugi Musical Theatre, Japan.
Antique fox mask from Y!J. It was listed as prewar, and I believe it! Very aged, but wonderfully crafted. <3
Next to a newer mask. You can see how much smaller it is, very yellowed too. This is a Toyokawa Inari shrine mask, no longer in production. The jewel on its forehead is meant to represent a Nyoi-Hoju, a Buddhist treasure said to grant any wish.
it's not such a big shot but I met this girl during a party. Have you seen "Abre los ojos"- vanilla sky-.
