Hand-painted German Paper Masks, Pink on Pink -- Sold Individually old green paint with minor dings and scrapesPretty simple as far as handmade masks go, but quite evocative things I think, and though all more or less the same, to me at least each has its own particular temperament!

Smallish face sized: 5 15 16" t x 4 7 8" wide, measured straight across the back
