Mask of the Bitter Queen

The gifted Edward Jekyll brings us this unusual artifact.

  1. I really like the mask-wearing-a-mask concept shown in this prop. I suppose this one is a kind of take on Baron Samedi or some other loa in that vein. For that matter it looks a bit like some of the well-made Skyrim prop masks that have shown up on Propnomicon previously.

    Given how successful this mask presents a concept, the creator might want to consider some of the highly dramatic transformation masks such as those made by Northwest Native Americans.
