One of my sisters likes to collect this sort of thing (unique masks and art) so I’m sending this out from the vacation so she can see it. Unless you have a particular affinity for this sort of thing, you probably won’t find this interesting but I think they’re fascinating. It’s a shame the tradition of masquerade balls fell out of favor. I can see how they would be enjoyable. We came across them in the Italian section of Walt Disney World’s Epcot park.
I like the blue one with the gold in the lower right ... Aaron and I were laughing we should put a "mask room" in at headquarters and make people wait in it just to see their reaction.
There was considerable detail put into the Italian masks ...
More of the Italian masks ...
There were some more expensive models put well out of reach of customers ...
More Italian masks on a display table ...

This was my absolute favourite post to come out of the Magic Kingdom, thankyou! I love the idea of masquerade - I'm sure that they still exist somewhere and if I get half a chance I'll attend one some day. I love the medieval vibe and the vastly differing aesthetics, these masks are a thing of true beauty.
