Good eye simon_xw,

Alchemus Maximus is about the only statue I have that had enough height & a skull I could tie the mask around...
so no, BLACK MAGNOLIA,'tis NOT an Alchemy item; I was just trying to show off the mask .
If I read the the label inside correctly , it came from Venice; birthplace of the carnival the mask is often worn to--their version of Mardi Gras... I think (or assume) most places have a mardi gras/carnival type celebration before ASH WEDNESDAY...
It was stage the mask on Maximus or the Terminator endoskull.
planning to buy a blank mannequin head to keep the mask on...

To see a world in a Grain of Sand,
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.

oh, ok! xD I missed the fact that it was a mask and from the other people's comments it seemed they assumed Alchemy too. :silly: I noticed the Alchemus Maximus bits, but thought Alchemy might have done or licensed a similar statute with the Plague Doctor - I don't follow all their licensed stuff, especially not the statutes/figurines.
I've been to Venice and we here in Croatia also celebrate carnival (we don't do Mardi Gras), so I'm familiar with the masks and traditions.

My most recent find on eBay:
NOT ALCHEMY GOTHIC. However it should have been; it would have been MUCH better quality...
sorry for all the pics;just wanted show off all the angles.
It is hard to see some of them, but the reason for the largest pic is the reason I bought it. It's the astrological signs.
I even circled one of the better looking signs #LIBRASrule

THIS item is very near and dear to my heart
:kiss:
In total, I have purchased 4 of these pewter roses in my life (that's roughly 1 rose every decade)
2 taken by ex-girlfriends,and one broke on me...
Fingers crossed for the saftey of this one
:kiss:
I also found a skull that was shaped like an egg...
....meh
only bought it because it lookd like a knock-off of the ALCHEMIST design
anyone interested in seeing/buying it; let me know

Oh that rose is gorgeous! The egg...looks a little odd to me. Kinda cool, but there's something not quite right with it.

wow! that pewter rose is beautiful! 
The skull egg is cool, although not my cup of tea. It does remind me of the movie Coneheads. haha :silly:
