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 made 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 a rare one, belonging to Sean Young, the lead actress from Blade Runner, and the details are exquisite. Would you like it as a sculpting reference or for interior decoration? There is a ring on the back for hanging on a wall. The black line on the left side of the head was present when I purchased it. It will be carefully wrapped in bubble wrap and cushioning and shipped in a cardboard box. By the way, items with open eyes are likely not life masks. It's impossible to apply silicone with the eyes open.
