"The Ornate Mandible is an augmentation worn by the Sect of the Undark , a small but fearsome group found in the Wastelands. Their belief is that radium is a holy element and use it to adorn themselves. This part of their religious doctrine seems to have originated from a short period of time before the Final War when radium was used in commercial products to make glowing elements on products; years of misinterpretation and confusion forming their current holy writ. The Ornate Mandible is used to replace or hide the loss of teeth and the entire jaw itself (the result of radium exposure),  the cult members using technology traded with Wasteland techno-priests to install these elegantly carved and polished prosthetics."

These wearable jaws are cast in slightly flexible translucent urethane. Each jaw also glows in the dark! The translucent jaw is backed with a reflective gold to make a very striking effect.

 

Each finished jaw will come with elastic string that can be attached with hot glue. It is impossible for me to attach the string and have it fit everyone the same way so the buyer must custom fit the attachments. This mask is not guaranteed to fit all faces.

1) Hold the mask up to your face and mark where the top and bottom of your ear's "cup" sits. The top of the jaw should be in front of your ear, near your temple.

2) Use hot glue ( or your preferred glue) to attach one string to the top mark and one string to the bottom mark.

3) Tie the two attached strings behind your ear. Make it tight enough so that the jaw's chin will be firmly pressed to your own chin so that it will move with your own chin when you move your jaw. You should be able to remove the jaw by looping the tied string from around the back of your ear or simply untie the elastic.

4) Please do not remove the fabric strip from the inside of the jaw as this can cause the gold paint on the inside to delaminate and ruin the shimmering effect in that spot. If this happens it can be fixed by applying a new coat of gold paint to the inside.

Because of the delicate nature of this sculpt, the jaw should be stored in a way so that it does not sag under it's own weight. If it does warp, the jaw is very easily put back into place with gentle pressure or by heating it gently with a hair dryer and leaving in the desired shape to cool.
