Virgil (Virgil Harris Mulkey). Theatrical African Cannibal Mask from The Great Virgil Magic Show. American, ca. 1940s. Papier-mache and polychrome hand-painted mask meant to depict an African cannibal, used onstage in Virgil’s “Mystery of the Jungle” routine in which his assistant, Julie, was captured and trapped in a net. Accompanied by a vintage photograph (6 ½ x 7 ½”) showing the mask worn during a performance. Mild to heavy losses to paint.
