Comedy & Tragedy Graphite Sculpture $14.95

Comedy and Tragedy masks are sometimes referred to as theatre masks or drama masks. These two masks have come to symbolize the theater and its two major dramatic categories, comedy and tragedy. Masks have played an important part in the history of drama since the time of the ancient Greeks. They were originally used to allow the actors to clearly convey emotions such as anger, joy, or sorrow to the entire audience, and they made it easier for men to portray female characters. This wonderful graphite sculpture is a work of art as well as a playful writing instrument. Made from composites and pure graphite this sculpture can be used to write or draw on multiple mediums or collected and displayed as an art piece. Designed from a Megalodon Shark tooth this sculpture is sure to please. Measures 4.5" by 1.75"
