About the Artist:
Jim Gibeault was a leather mask artist who spent many years living and working in the French Quarter of New Orleans. He became known for individually crafted fantasy and theatrical leather masks, creating distinctive wearable works of art associated with the city's masquerade and Mardi Gras culture.
Signed by the artist on the reverse.
The original ties have been lost. I am including a replacement stretchable elastic tie so the mask can be worn or displayed.
Vintage pre-owned condition with age-related wear. Please examine all photographs carefully, including the reverse and artist's signature, as they are an important part of the description.
A dramatic and unusual example of handcrafted New Orleans leather mask art — excellent for a collector, Mardi Gras display, theatrical décor, wearable art collection, or statement wall piece.
