Common criminals—thieves and bandits—were locked in chains and sent to the dungeon where they became hunted fodder by the most dangerous prisoners. These vile predators were muzzled to protect the bodies of those awaiting public execution.
Masks were not only the burden of the ferocious. Enemies of the state were also masked to conceal their identity and to stop them from leaking secrets of the crown to other convicts. In this way, the iron mask became a symbol of failed rebellion.
These horrors permeate the design of The Old World Cannibal Facemask.
One can imagine the mask’s cold steel and fleshy leather straps hammered together in the distant echo of screams. The history. The craftsmanship. Your unforgettable silhouette on stage. An escape from the ordinary.
- Hammered, freeform craftsmanship!
- Hickory smoked finish and boiled oil polish!
- Each mask unique down to every detail!
- Five-Year Workmanship Warranty!
- Certificate of Authenticity Included!
- Makes escape look impossible!
The Old World Cannibal Facemask was designed to complete the look of your Old World Siberian Chain Escape and/or Ankle Chain Quick-Connect. This disturbing mask is a cosmetic addition to the set. Bound in this way, the audience knows you cannot use your mouth to pick the locks.
Each mask is unique. Handmade from steel with hammer and anvil. Expect your mask to look different than pictured. The leather straps are repurposed from old leather items for authentic aging, and thus the buckles may not be identical even on the same mask. The chain makes the mask easy to attach to any escape setup.
