Beautiful but not practical. The masks looks like it was made by hand in the best of ways. But, there is no bend to the mask so it doesn’t exactly fit your face very well. Also, instead of a elastic band to hold the mask in place they have a silky ribbon like material. And, because the mask itself is heavier than most, the silk ribbon does not keep the mask in place no matter how tight you tie it. We thought of purchasing an elastic band for it but unfortunately did not get around to it. We did end up using it on our altar for a Day of the dead and it was beautiful. If you are crafty putting an elastic band on it should not be any big deal just make sure it’s tight enough for the weight of the mask. I will be keeping it for my day of the dead altar for the future.
