skull mask

Death's face covering

A skull mask is a mask designed to look like a human skull, typically covering the face with skeletal features—hollow eye sockets, nasal cavity, and exposed teeth.

Worn for Halloween costumes, horror themes, or tactical intimidation: The robbers wore skull masks.

Military and airsoft versions often cover just the lower face.

Skull masks appear in video games and action films as shorthand for menace or death.
