Simple and elegant, this polymer clay faux jade mask will make a beautiful addition to your wall or curio cabinet. Complemented by the sheer olive ribbons on the left side and the rich coral colored flowers scattered on its surface, the subtle sheen of this mask adds to its allure.



Designed to be used as decoration, there are head pin loops inside the mask to which ribbons or chain can be attached for hanging. However, nothing is stopping you from adding tie ribbons in the loops and wearing it to a costume party, formal masquerade ball, or to hide in the crowd at Carnaval or Mardi Gras. As the clay has been layered over a paper mache mask base, the mask is sturdy enough to wear for long periods of time.

Who doesn't love masks? Our initial experiences with them as children at Halloween taught us the joys of slipping on a disguise and becoming someone else, if only for a moment. We can be silly or serious, daring or shy, whatever our desire when wearing a mask.

The mystery of the mask, and who I can become when wearing it, will continue to entice me for the rest of my life.
