Description
Colombina mask is a half-face mask that mainly covers the wearers eyes, nose and upper cheeks. It can be held up either by ribbons, which let your hands-free or by a small stick which makes it easier to put on and off. Colombina masks can have different designs. Some are decorated with feathers, to add mystery and sensuality to the mask, while others are made of metal, applying light layers of precious metals such as gold and silver. Colombina can be literally translated as little-dove and is a character of the Commedia dellArte. In the Italian Comedy of Art, every mask is linked to a character and Colombina plays the role of a maidservant and mischievous scheming soubrette. She is witty and down-to-earth and often interacts with other masks
