Wear the foxiest costume at the masquerade with this stunningly transformative Red Fox leather mask. Masks are for more than just Halloween or Mardi Gras; you can display it in your home as a work of art, or wear it to play a Trickster or Kitsune character for a theater play or larp (live action role play). It can even be worn to a themed masquerade wedding.

The Red Fox mask is handmade from a piece of vegetable-tanned leather. The details were meticulously incised into the leather and painted with acrylics. The white and black markings stand out from the classic reddish-brown coloring of the red fox. As you can see in the last photo, parts of the back of the mask are painted as well so that it looks good from all angles. It is sealed to protect it from moisture. Designed to fit the average face, the mask is lightweight and slightly flexible. It ties with black organza ribbons.

"Kitsune is the Japanese word for fox. Foxes are a common subject of Japanese folklore; in English, kitsune refers to them in this context. Stories depict them as intelligent beings and as possessing magical abilities that increase with their age and wisdom. Foremost among these is the ability to assume human form. While some folktales speak of kitsune employing this ability to trick others -- as foxes in folklore often do -- other stories portray them as faithful guardians, friends, lovers, and wives." ("Kitsune" on Wikipedia)

This mask design is an Eirewolf Creations original. Made in a smoke-free studio.

If you would like more than one Fox mask, I can make them to order. I can also paint it in different colors if you like. No two masks will be exactly the same, even when I create the same design; they are unique works of art! The mask pictured is in stock and ready to ship.
