Mask with dishes around the eyes and pointed serrated crests on the cheeks and forehead
(Original Dutch: Masker met schotels rond de ogen en spits getande kuiven op de wangen en het voorhoofd [1]
From the album Pourtraicture ingenieuse de plusieurs façon de Masques. Fort utile aulx painctres, orseures, Taillieurs de pierres, voirriers et Taillieurs d’images by Cornelis Floris, engraved by Frans Huys and published in Antwerp in 1555 by Hans Liefrinck.
Via BibliOdyssey[2] The title translates as ‘Ingenious portrayal of several types of mask. Useful for painters, stoneworkers [and other trades]’.
Details of Mira Calligraphiæ Monumenta by Joris Hoefnagel also show grotesque masks
