David Bowie

Mask from 'The Hunger' available

Rare David Bowie memorabilia in form of a mask from ’The Hunger’ has gone up for sale.

It is a "life mask" of Bowie's face, cast in white plaster from the mould taken directly from the singer's face during production of the movie.

It was made for use as a makeup tester for the film and according to the description on 991.com it "is amazingly detailed with every wrinkle and pore evident and would look amazing mounted."

Bowie starred in the film in 1983 with Catherine Deneuve.
