Love's Labour's Lost Costume Head (Queen Elizabeth I) – Shakespeare's Globe
£500.00
Product description from their website:
Our summer 2026 production of Love's Labour's lost featured our actors dressed as famous characters from history and legend. Each character had a painted papier mache head handmade by our props team onsite. The heads were moulded on polystyrene 'forms' before being painted and decorated. Each head has a shoulder harness inside and an eye hole cut in the neck to allow it to be worn.
This head, of Queen Elizabeth I, measures approximately 123cm x 63cm x 45cm. She is hand painted and has a collar that has been leafed with gold Dutch metal. She has bead and feather details adorning her hair and a shoulder covering made of a sparkly gold fabric.
This is a one-of-kind costume piece, handmade on our onsite props workshop and worn on stage at the Globe Theatre. The mask is a very good condition with very minor damage commensurate with being worn on stage.
