Guy Fawkes mask
Protest movement symbol
A Guy Fawkes mask is a stylized face covering depicting the 17th-century English conspirator who attempted to blow up Parliament.
The mask features a wide grin, upturned mustache, and pointed beard.
Popularized by the graphic novel and film *V for Vendetta*, it became the symbol of the hacktivist group Anonymous and appears at protests worldwide as shorthand for anti-establishment resistance and digital-age dissent.
