Masada Goods, Glittering Venetian Jester Mask with Bells

Description

Venetian masks have a long history of protecting their wearer's identity during promiscuous or decadent activities. Made for centuries in Venice. Eventually, Venetian masks re-emerged as the emblem of Carnevale (Carnival), a pageant and street fair celebrating hedonism. Venetian masks have been worn in Venice, Italy, since antiquity. With a level of social wealth unequaled since, the citizens of Venice developed a unique culture one in which the concealing of the identity in daily life became paramount to daily activity. Part of the secrecy was pragmatic: there were things to do, people to see, and perhaps you might not want others to know what deals you were cutting. After all, the city is relatively small.
