Prototype Tusken Raider Mask

A prototype Tusken Raider mask from the production of Richard Marquand's Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi.

While Tusken Raiders are not seen in the final film, they were considered for inclusion in Jabba's palace and this prototype mask was developed during preproduction. It was made by the costume team, who molded components of a mask from the original Star Wars to create it.

The mask consists of a fiberglass shell lined with interior foam, and covered externally with leather, burlap and cloth wrappings, leather-wrapped mouthpiece, and various cast-resin detail pieces. Restoration work was undertaken to reassemble the components that had come apart with age, though no new materials were added and nothing was repainted-all elements are original to production.

Dimensions: 42 cm x 42 cm x 43.25 cm (16 1/2" x 16 1/2" x 17")
