#A -SM527 This elegant wall mask; with pearl flower and butterfly designs, ismade out of hand painted cold-cast resin in beautifully subdued bronzetones. Such masks are an essential feature of iL Carnevale di Venezia. Venice's Carnival began in the 11th century, and the wearing of masks and costumes was well established by 1436, when mask makers or Mascereri were officially recognized with their own guild. The practice of wearing masks for disguise reached its peak in the 18th century when Venetians of different social classes used Carnevale as an excuse to mingle and, in some case, to find illicit adventures without fear of recognition or retribution. Measuring 13" in length and 5 1/2" at its widest point, this wall mask is a great accent to any room, home or office. This very unique and collectible piece is sure to become the highlight of your collection. Customer Comment: " This item is beautiful -Couldn't be more pleased."
