A VENETIAN JESTER MASK
Jester (male)/Jolly (female) - a specific type of clown mostly associated with the Middle Ages. Starting in Italy, Jester moved into all of Europe, influencing theatre in Spain, Holland, Germany, Austria, England and especially France. Jesters typically wore brightly coloured clothing in a motley pattern. Their hats were especially distinctive; made of cloth, with points, each of which had a jingle bell at the end. Other things distinctive about the jester were their incessant laughter and amock sceptre, known as a bauble or marotte.
