Etsy seller MyCool3DStuff does not call this a meta mask, an inception mask (good; it’s the wrong use of the word) or anything clever. There’s no play on the fact it’s a face made up of faces.
It’s just a ‘Ghoul Skull Face Halloween Mask‘
We’re told that the mask would make a good Christmas gift, and as it chops from Australia, that’s about a sensible timeline. On the plus side, the ghoul comes in three sizes.
Skull masks aren’t just associated with the Day of the Dead. Skull masks have been used in various cultures for rituals and ceremonies, often associated with death, ancestor veneration, and spiritual practices. Ancient civilizations like the Aztecs incorporated skull masks into their religious practices, sometimes using actual human skulls adorned with precious stones.
However, this particular mask is not founded in rituals or ceremonies, and it channels horror movies and gothic aesthetics.
