Have you seen the Neverending Story? (I'm sure you have.) The Auryn is two snakes twisted very prettily...sort of a multiple infiniity symbol...biting tails.

Oh, look at that...handy internet! http://www.ketzer.com/prop_replica/auryn.html Anyway, those masks really are spectacular. The contrast of the patterns and scales is very dramatic, placed against the smooth blackness of the rest of the mask. And I love the shape.
