Sainte Valérie, by Jaques Laudin II

St. Valerie of Limoges was one of many Catholic saints who was a cephalophore - a martyr who carried their head in their hands. Many of these cephalophores supposedly spoke, prayed, or walked somewhere, after being beheaded.

Miniature heads modeling the different masks used in Noh theatre. I love the ‘Hannya’, the noh mask of a grinning, horned demoness (representing a woman’s rage and jealousy). The picture doesn’t do it justice. Even though it was smaller than my palm, it was creepy. I can’t imagine a life sized mask used in the theatre. I really want to see a Noh play someday. #japan #gero #gasshoumura #noh #theatre #culture #learnsomething #mask #下呂市 #下呂温泉 #合掌村 #能 #能面 #般若面 #文化 (at 下呂温泉　合掌村)

Those are actually Bunraku puppet heads. Great photo! - TSM
