Congolese Mask - puppet style

thingiverse

This model is designed so you can puppet it. You grip the top part of the face with your index middle and ring fingers. Your thumb then controls the mouth. I have small fingers so you may need to scale up accordingly. It makes a *clack* clack* clack* sound when you move it fast, so maybe add some foam teeth if you want to try ventriloquism. I designed an indentation in the back of the skull that makes this hang on a nail nicely, if you want to put it on the wall. This model is heavily inspired by some delightful Congolese masks. I loved the silly, mischievous look, and I had to find a way to make it a character. I actually designed and printed this thing in 2018, and he has lived on my wall for the last few years.
