The present mask is comparable with the mannerist carvings of Andrea Calamech (c. 1514–78), who was born in Carrara and worked for a time in Florence, however spending the majority of his career in Messina. He played an important role in establishing a vogue for Tuscan mannerist influences in Sicily.
