A life cast, or life mask, is a face mold taken directly from an actor, used as a base for special effects makeup in films. This item is a resin (likely FRP) face cast created 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. Specifically, this item is of Anne Hathaway, the lead actress in Interstellar, and is very detailed. Would you like it for sculpting reference or as interior decor? There's a ring on the back for hanging on a wall. The surface of this item has a porous texture like plaster, but the material is resin, giving it a durable and lightweight feel. It will be wrapped in bubble wrap and cushioning, then shipped in a cardboard box. By the way, items with open eyes are likely not life masks. You can't apply silicone with the eyes open.
