Putrid Elegance — Baroque Zombie Masquerade Mask, Gothic Halloween Mask, Hand-Painted
Putrid Elegance — Baroque Zombie Masquerade Mask, Gothic Halloween Mask, Hand-Painted
Putrid Elegance — It arrived late, and it has no intention of leaving.
A full-face skull masquerade mask set inside a broad halo of pierced Baroque acanthus, which rises above the crown and curls down each side of the face.
The skull itself is sculpted plainly against that ornament — hollow eye sockets, an open nasal cavity and a full set of exposed upper and lower teeth — with a carved shell motif at the centre of the brow and another at the base of the chin. The contrast between the smooth cranium and the dense surrounding scrollwork is the whole idea.
Designed as a dramatic decorative piece for gothic interiors, masquerade displays, Halloween collections and rather theatrical gallery walls.

Size, and wearing it
This is a decorative mask, made as a display piece rather than a fitted one. It measures 20.1 cm at its widest. Most of our masks fit an average face, though the fit varies by design.
If you intend to wear it, message us before ordering and we will do our best to accommodate you — we can add discreet mounting slots at each temple and include a band so the mask can be worn. Every piece is finished by hand here, so we would far rather talk it through with you first.
Finish options
Matte Black — our standard finish. Deep matte PLA that holds shadow and shows every sculpted edge.
Antique Silver — hand-painted and drybrushed by us in the workshop so the raised detail lifts while the recesses remain dark. Each one is finished individually, so no two are ever quite the same.
Antique Bronze — hand-painted and drybrushed by us in the workshop so the raised detail lifts while the recesses remain dark. Each one is finished individually, so no two are ever quite the same.
Other (message me) — the same hand-painted finish in colours of your choosing, for the same price. Send us a message before ordering and tell us what you have in mind, and we will say honestly whether we can do it justice.
What’s included
1 × Putrid Elegance mask in your chosen finish
Display supports and decorative items shown in the photographs are not included
Made and posted in Ireland
Printed, finished and packed by the two of us in Dublin, and posted from Ireland — so EU orders arrive without customs charges or import delays.
Masks in matte black normally go out within 1–3 working days. Hand-painted finishes take 3–5 working days, as the paint needs time to dry properly between coats.
Product safety
Decorative item for indoor use only.
Not a toy. Keep away from young children.
If worn, make sure the eye openings give you clear vision. Do not wear while driving, cycling, or near open flames, stairs or water.
Keep away from excessive heat, open flames and prolonged direct sunlight — PLA can soften at high temperatures.
Clean gently using a soft, dry cloth.
Avoid abrasive cleaners and solvents, particularly on hand-painted finishes.
Handle the pierced outer frame with care — it is the finest and most exposed part of the piece.
Materials: PLA. Hand-painted finishes also use acrylic paint and matt varnish.
Minor layer lines and small variations in finish are normal consequences of 3D printing and hand finishing.
If anything isn’t right
Every piece is checked before it is packed. If something arrives damaged, or simply is not what you were hoping for, please send us a message — we are a two-person workshop and would far rather hear from you and put it right.
