'Philippe's
articulated Iron Mask'
King Louis XIV of France is a cruel, sadistic
monarch, engaged to marry Maria Theresa, the Queen
Infanta of Spain. She consents to this
marriage even though she detests Louis, in order to
keep war from breaking out in Europe. When
Louis learns that he has a twin brother, Philippe,
who is loved by the people of France, he fears that
he may be dethroned and has Philippe encased in the
dreaded iron mask and imprisoned in the Bastille.
Never before realized in metal, here is our
incarnation of the prop mask, with an articulated
jaw and lockable chain harness system. Forged
and hammered in mild steel, this goes beyond the
hero version of the screen used mask.
