Bronze Mask – Protection from Lilith – Protection for a Child and a Mother after Giving Birth
Bronze mask. [Italy? 20th century].
Cast etched bronze; partially gilded.
A Mask in the style of the "Comeddia dell-Arte". Etched above the eyes is the inscription "First Eve" and "Lilith". The shape of the mask is reminiscent of the angels Sanoi, Sansanoi and Samengelof who protect the newborn infants and their mothers from Lilith, as appears in the book "Raziel HaMalach" and in various illustrations. Apparently, this mask was used as an amulet for protection. The artist's signature is blurred.
Length: 18.5 cm. height: 8.5 cm.
