Detailed Description

Handcrafted in Italy by Si Lucia mask makers, these stunning papier-mâché masks are perfect for an elegant masquerade, for display alone, or as part of a group. Their meticulous crafting will impress any serious mask collector.

One of the first women to be accepted in to the theatre, Columbina was reluctant to cover her lovely features with a mask and so the small
half-mask, or loup, was designed especially for her. She was the mischievous and charming serving wench of the commedia...a comic
character who was not always a mirror of virtue. Her name lives on to
this day as all half masks are referred to as Columbina masks.
