Wore this to the Kentucky Derby as an alternative to a more traditional fascinator and loved it! Seller was super quick and accommodating to my request for specific colors.

Beautiful mask! Will be using for my wedding as it’s a masquerade theme. Only thing I would change would be the stones on the side metal color. It’s gold and it would’ve looked better if it was rose gold like the mask.

Love it!! Looked perfect with my outfit! Adding the rhinestones means adding more throughout the lace (I didn’t know this when choosing that option) and I’m so glad I got it with the stones. Beautiful and high quality product

What is a Jester Mask and how is it related to Commedia dell'arte?

The history of Jester Venetian masks is closely tied to the rich tradition of the Venetian Carnival and the Commedia dell'arte, a popular form of Italian theater that emerged in the 16th century.

The Commedia dell'arte was a form of improvisational theater characterized by masked performers who portrayed stock characters with distinct personalities. One of these characters was Arlecchino, a mischievous and acrobatic servant known for his colorful costume and cunning tricks. Arlecchino's mask and costume later influenced the design of Jester masks.

When did Jester masks become popular?

The Venetian Carnival, which dates back to the 12th century, provided a festive backdrop for the emergence of Jester masks. During the carnival season, which typically lasted from December 26th to Shrove Tuesday, people from all walks of life would don masks and costumes to engage in revelry, disguise their identities, and indulge in various forms of entertainment.
