clown mask

Jester face covering

A clown mask is a mask depicting a clown's face, typically with exaggerated features like a red nose, painted smile, and colorful makeup.

While clowns traditionally entertain children, clown masks have become associated with horror films and criminal disguises, giving them an unsettling quality: The robbers wore clown masks.

The contrast between cheerful appearance and sinister intent makes them a staple of Halloween costumes and thriller imagery.
