As far as paintwork goes, this is already fairly antiqued- doing more would seriously darken up the mask to the point where colors would start getting indistinguishable- the pic really doesn't do things justice, as it's looking far too birght/polished in this shot.
If we're talking distressing it on a purely physical rather than cosmetic level... no. This is a molded leather mask, it's bee through full painting and everything- any actual physical work to wear it down and make it look more distressed would likely ruin the structure of the mask itself- it wouldn't be totally unwearable, but the branches/crown would likely become downright floppy, you'd lose the definition in the nose, and there's probably other big structural issues that I can't think of at the moment.
Price is $50 (USD), not including shipping- if you're still interested, just drop me a note, and we can go from there.
A question: This and many of your other masks look fairly rigid for things made of leather. Is it the paint that does that, of are you just working with less pliable leather to begin with?
