The mask of Selinus, a famous sculptor, is one of the rare examples of a mask that gives us an idea about how this object was made. The glass mask was used as a mold for actor's masks.
It was mounted on a plaque of plaster in a red glass frame, followed by a frieze, or band, of roses in red and green on a yellow background, also in glass.
The mask has a yellow face, red mouth, and white hair. The shadow and lines of the face are black and all is set against a green background. |
