Midcentury Handcrafted Mask Depicting the Comedy and Tragedy of Greek Theatre
About the Item
A couple of vintage masks inspired by the Greek Roman theater.
They were made in solid brass and represent respectively the 2 most important theatrical genres: comedy and tragedy.
Comedy is represented by a laughing satyr while tragedy, by a desperate man.
They can be used as wall decorations but also as a paperweight given their weight.
I find them perfect within a wall decoration made of small mirrors, paintings and plates.
They are in good vintage conditions, show a splendid patina and small signs of oxidation of a splendid copper green.
