<p>[QUOTE="lizjewel, post: 4058610, member: 13874"]Mask looks like a prototype, a sample suggested for use in a theatrical play. There are holes to breathe through but no outlet or hole for the mouth, so it wasn't a finished prototype, only a design sample I think. Pierrot, the French clown character comes to mind, perhaps for an existential type production, or a gothic fantasy character. The chain is IMHO there so the mask could be hung for display, possibly with several other example prototypes. Not for attaching in the back of the head as it has no hook but is secured at both ends to rings. An example of theatrical prop art would be my guess.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
