red bearded man

price: $ 95

catalog # REP 6 -- RBM

This mask is taken from a Roman statue (see below) that dates between the 1st century B.C. and the 1st century A.D., and was most likely associated with the "New Comedy" plays. The length of his beard and his wrinkles probably means his is an "Old Man". His beard could be painted gray or white. In this version we have opted for a wild red beard, and his mate has a matching hairdo. He is made in neoprene, a semi-rigid, non-toxic latex. The neoprene masks have a little more "give" to them than papier mâché, and are a little more durable.
