This beautiful handmade leather Gryphon or Hippogriff masquerade mask is dyed and painted in ginger (red-brown) tones to enhance the leather. Feather, beak, and ear designs are carved into the surface of this high-quality mask. It is lightweight and designed to fit most adults (men and women), and ties on with brown organdy ribbons.
The gryphon (or griffin, griffon) is a legendary creature found in fantasy and mythology, which is part lion (or other big cat) and part eagle (or other bird, usually predatory). The hippogriff (or hippogryph) is similar but its hind half is horse instead of wildcat.
