Dionysus Bacchus Theater miniature mask - God of Wine Ritual Madness ecstasy

Description: DIONYSUS MINI MASK Dionysus was the god of the grape harvest, winemaking and wine, of ritual madness and ecstasy in Greek mythology. He is a god of epiphany, "the god that comes", and his "foreignness" as an arriving outsider-god may be inherent and essential to his cults. He is a major, popular figure of Greek mythology and religion, and is included in some lists of the twelve Olympians. Dionysus was the last god to be accepted into Mt. Olympus. He was the youngest and the only one to have a mortal mother. His festivals were the driving force behind the development of Greek theatre. He is an example of a dying god. The mask was a necessary device for the ancient Greeks who developed the art of theater. Among the two main genres of Greek theater are comedy and tragedy, elements of which are still the fundamentals of all acting today. Masks such as this were important accessories in a number of ways. Primarily the mask provided colourful imagery as an accessory or prop (features were over-accentuated or made to look ridiculous in comedy much like caricature sketches). Secondly, using masks helped the audience to identify the roles as often a very limited cast were used to perform multiple characters. Thirdly and perhaps most importantly, the conical mouth shape of the masks (which were usually made of clay) helped the acoustics or 'volume' as the voice of the thespian was better projected out into towards the audience in the theater.(05-513-A) Details: Condition: New, Handmade in Greece Material: Casting stone Height: 16 cm - 6.3 inchesWidth: 12 cm - 4.7 inches Weight: 350 g ********
