A life cast or life mask is a mold of an actor's face, taken directly from the actor, used as a base for special effects makeup in films. This item is a plaster cast created from such a mold. The size and details are exactly like the original. I purchased it overseas a long time ago for use as a reference in sculpting. This particular item is of the famous Nicole Kidman and is very detailed. Would you like it for sculpting reference 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 shipped in a cardboard box. By the way, casts with open eyes are likely not life masks, as it's impossible to apply silicone with the eyes open.
