Commedia dell'arte devil mask ram red/black

The commedia dell'arte ram devil mask in red/black is a half mask with two large, ribbed black ram horns that curve outwards and downwards. It covers your forehead, eyes and nose down to just above the cheeks, leaving your mouth free so you can talk, eat and drink. It is worn by both women and men at Halloween, a masquerade ball or a spooky themed party.

What makes the ram devil mask stand out

• The mask is bright red with black shading around the eye holes and along the pointed edges, making the face appear sharper.
• At the top of the forehead is a crown of four red points, with two small pointed ears on either side.
• The two black ram horns are clearly ribbed and curl forward along your ears.
• Below the cheeks, the mask tapers into two long, curved points, making the silhouette extra angular.
• The mask is made of 100% polypropylene and has a slightly rough, painted surface.

Why does a devil wear ram horns?

Curled ram horns are one of the oldest attributes of devil and faun figures in European theatre. In commedia dell'arte, Italian mask theatre, a figure was defined entirely by their mask: the shape of the nose, the horns and the raised lines around the eyes immediately told the audience which character they were dealing with. While a classic devil mask has small pointed horns, the heavy ram horns give this mask a more animalistic, mythological character. This makes it suitable for a Venetian-style masquerade ball as well as a horror evening, two occasions where the red plastic mask stands out vividly under artificial light.

Pairing the ram devil mask with accessories

Because your mouth and chin remain free, you can simply apply makeup to the face underneath. Red or black lipstick and dark eyeshadow complement the black shading lines of the mask perfectly. Black jewellery also works well: a lace choker, a large ring or silver earrings that peek out from between the horns. If you prefer to dress entirely in black, a plain black shirt, a black dress or a bow under a closed collar provides enough contrast to the red.
