Old Baboon mask Probably American 13 inches, painted papier mache A 19th or early 20th century mask that realistically depicts a baboon. This would have been sold at one of the better costume shops. Note how carefully made it was. Mesh cloth covered with a layer of papier mache was formed over a mold and hand painted after drying and trimming. Today it still has its wonderful colors and expression, but there is bending, cracking, and loss around the edges. SOLD
