I believe it is from an opera from what I remember her telling me. It was framed by her so there is no way for me to get into it&#8217;s case. It is a very large mask. The case is probably 2 feet by 3 feet wide. The mask is made of various sized feathers. I have no interest in selling it but if you could provide any information on it I would greatly appreciate it!  Emily, 1521<\/p>\n<p>A:  There are some operas that have an act with a ballroom scene. Most masks like this could also be worn in a carnival parade with a showy costume. The Mummer&#8217;s parade and Mardi Gras are famous for this look in the US. There are other costumed parades in Brazil, the Caribbean and many other places. You could rent one at a costume shop, but it wouldn&#8217;t be this lavish. I think it is nice enough to spend a little money and have it professionally cleaned.
