Venetian mask

I almost never add blur to the backround - this one's an exception. I used a single bounced flash to light this.
Btw. I think it's a Jester mask.

Sony Cybershot
1/200s f/4.0 at 26.2mm iso100 with Flash full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Well, I don't know about this particular mask, because all hand made masks are unique and I don't know the story behind different venetian mask styles...

But try these links
