Item number: MK-01-0012
Product name: Theatrical dance crown, Female.

Description:
Mask/Crown making is an art still being practiced today in much the same manner as it was years ago. It must be a very exact process since many crowns appear identical except for a few small details. The artist starts with a plaster mold towhich fifteen layers of papier-mache are added. The paper used is a special kind called "koi." It is the same type of paper which Buddha's teachings were written upon for temple manuscripts. The glue used for the papier-mache is made of rice flour. Various highlights are then added such as tiaras and earflaps. Finally, gold leaf and fake jewels are applied to the tiara or crown. Often, the crowns are not made by one indiviaual but rather, several of the artists in the workshop contribute parts. Complete with stand.

Size : 26" high.
