PAPER FACES ON PARARADE

If you are looking for a classic mask for Cosplay, a masked ball or a LARP character, Mask Moko is a great alternative to the cheaper plastic masks that break so easily. Designed by Atelier Fantastic’Art and made from thick 100% natural high-quality latex, making it strong and durable, this masquerade inspired mask is for those who are looking to stand out and disguise their identity at the same time.

Sculpted and hand painted in a dark steel colour with a beautiful intricate spiralling filigree pattern, it appears realistically like metal. The modelling of the eye- and brow area gives the mask a terrific and somewhat mischievous expression like a jester or a harlequin. The mask covers the whole face--including over the chin--with roomy holes around the eyes and nose for comfort and a slit for the mouth allowing you to speak. Fastened at the back with a broad and sturdy elastic band and a bow tie buckle, the size fits all. We suggest styling the mask with one of Epic Armoury’s hoods or hooded robes, for example Robe Benedict, for an extra authentic look!
