Masks were first used during Mardi Gras to free the participants from social stigma such as class rankings. These elaborate masks and costumes allowed individuals to assume various identities, offering a sense of liberation and anonymity. It provided a unique opportunity for people from different walks of life to mingle without the constraints of societal expectations. The joyous atmosphere and vibrant celebrations enabled everyone to escape from their worries and immerse themselves fully in the festivities, creating unforgettable memories and fostering a sense of community that transcended traditional boundaries.
The material used to craft this piece is high-quality bamboo, which is combined with a durable hardwood backing to ensure it remains stable over time. To achieve a pleasing and smooth finish, a combination of mineral oil, walnut tint, and beeswax has been meticulously applied, providing not only protection but also a rich luster that accentuates the natural beauty of the wood. The carving unframed measures 9.75" x 13.75". The depth of the carving is approximately 3/4". The carving framed is 16" x 20".
