Carrying the name of “Teatrale” (Italian for ‘theatrical’) this masque has been covered with a vibrant red Chinese brocade embroidered with gold, green and blue floral motifs and flaunts a centrepiece of peacock feathers and glittering rhinestone-spritzed foliage surrounding a beautiful reconstructed vintage peacock brooch. Rhinestone and gold beaded floral braid flows outward across the masque’s upper edge below which has been set a rhinestone studded open-weave gold mesh. The brocade’s floral theme has been accentuated with a small spray of colour-matching flowers and a hand-gilded tassle.
