Description A sculpted leather bird mask in deep indigo, emerald and bronze. This one of a kind mask was crafted from high quality tooling leather, hand painted and sealed with a protective topcoat. It is accented with a peacock and pheasant feather medallion, with a beaded Swarovski gem at the center. The beak features a vintage brass filigree, and the swirling lines of this piece are echoed in the hand painted details.

Thanks for the info. I'll have to do some hunting. I also make leather masks, and your design was very inspirational.
