This is a gladiator helmet on a bust with holes in it for pencils. The fact that it is a pencil holder it hard to believe but it is. It follows a more geometric shape for the helmet. The head part was made as a 3/4 circle that was closed. Then the head decoration and mask were added later. The one with the bust does not have a mask because a suction formation on the mold used to make it caused it to get to leather hard unusually fast and rip apart when being taken off. The helmet is a reference to ancient gladiators in rome. The pencils holding part resembles how they had many culture aspects and that when gaining power the best weapon is a pencil/writing utensil. I am happy with the small helmet but the bigger one that has the bust has disappointed me a little(because of the mask). If I had more time I would have made another mask in a way that would have prevented the mask from suctioning and drying out.
