A life cast or life mask is a face mold taken directly from an actor, used as the base for special effects makeup in movies. This item is a plaster cast made from such a mold. The size and details are exactly like the original. I purchased it overseas a long time ago for reference in sculpting. This particular item is a valuable one of Winona Ryder, and the details are exquisite. I believe it was made for the movie "Alien." It's painted gray, perhaps for checking the details. As you can see in the photos, there is a small chip inside the ear. Would you like it for sculpting or as interior decoration? There is a ring on the back for hanging on a wall. It will be carefully wrapped in bubble wrap and cushioning, and then packed in a cardboard box for shipping. By the way, life masks are unlikely to have open eyes. Silicone cannot be applied if the eyes are open. This item also has the inside of the mouth sealed.
