Brooch, Theater Masks, Sterling Silver, Made in Mexico. 

For many decades, the image of the theater masks has universally become like a symbol of theater or acting. Generally, known as "the Comedy and Tragedy Masks" or just "the theater masks", there is much mystery as to where these two masks really originated from. I was taught in school that these masks real names were Melpomene (Tragedy Mask) and Thalia (Comedy Mask). These were taken from Greek Mythology. Thalia, being the muse of comedy and pastoral poetry, and Melpomene, the muse of tragedy. Muse, in this case, is a protector of an art or science.
