Though made as a utilitarian bee-keeper's mask / hood, as an art object it is one of the most compelling Folkl Art masks we have seen. It realli is a stunner! Made in the early 20thC of heavy canvas and welded metal, its bird-like visage is both haunting and enigmatic. It reminds us of the 17thC plague masks of Middle Europe.
