GERMAN “JUDE” THEATER MASK.
1930’s
Est: $1,500 - $2,000
Reminiscent of the German cabaret theater of the Weimar era. This mask represented the Jewish character in a play or cabaret, or possibly worn by an audience member or night-club attendee. Political satire in the cabaret theater of the 1930’s would undoubtedly include the character of a Jew.
