Colombina Masks

Our authentic selection of delicate Colombina masks are perfect for ladies or gentlemen who want to disguise their identity, without concealing too much of their face. Named after one of the Commedia dell'Arte’s leading characters, these practical half face carnival masks can be coupled with a complimentary evening dress, tux and black tie, or with more traditional Venetian costume. The most popular and most practical masked ball mask you can buy

The name ""Colombina"" meaning ""Little Dove"" is a stock character in the Commedia dell'Arte, which was a form of masked theatre that began in Italy during the 16th Century. Colombina was a beautiful maidservant who was Harlequins mistress and Pierrot’s wife in the Commedia dell'Arte.

It was thought that the Colombina mask was created as a female alternative to the Bauta mask as it allowed a certain degree of anonymity without covering up Colombina’s beautiful face, although there is no pictorial evidence that she ever wore a mask.

The modern day Colombina mask comes in a wide variety of colours and designs and can be worn by both sexes. As a half-face mask it lends a certain level of anonymity covering the eyes and cheek bones, but still allows wearers to eat, talk and drink without feeling restricted.

At Just Posh Masks we have a huge selection of Colombina masks that are the perfect centrepiece for Mardi Gras, the Venice Carnival or a masquerade ball. Whether you want to go for a regal look with the Colombina Crown with a centre jewel and gold leaf swirls, or you prefer something understated like the Plain Colombina that comes with a wide choice of colours, we have the perfect mask to match your costume.

With Just Posh Masks, you’ll always find exceptional quality and material to give you maximum wearing comfort and an exquisite finish for your masquerade ball ensemble.
