Straight from the surreal world of midcentury Southern pageantry, this rare Memphis Cotton Carnival souvenir mask features a delicate mesh face with painted features—arched brows, flushed cheeks, and red lips. With its original ribbon tie and lightly warped shape, it embodies the whimsical charm and gentle weirdness of America's long-lost civic celebrations.
These masks were once handed out at the legendary Memphis Cotton Carnival, a 20th-century Southern Mardi Gras-meets-state-fair affair known for parades, costumes, and elaborate court presentations. Part party favor, part folk art, part fever dream.
