An elaborate head dress-and-mask combo. The bases for both are hand-molded from buckram and fitted together. The swan is covered in fabric and feathers, including dyed ostrich plumes, chicken hackles, and burnt peacock herl, and is embellished with silver leaf and Swarovsky crystals. A light, translucent fabric veil extends over the back of the head and shoulders. Additional ribbon ties for support.
