Theatrical Costume and Prop Shop

Racks of royal costumes in velvet reds, blues, and golds line one wall, crowns and gowns ready beside a rack of capes near a small boy playing among the folds. At a workbench, someone hammers armor plating beside a suit of chainmail and shelves stocked with helmets, tools, and paint tins. A wall of masks fills the far corner, from grinning comedy faces to pale tragic ones, while a woman nearby unrolls bolts of patterned fabric across a cutting table. A gray stone statue is wheeled past a fallen sword and shield, and two boys carry a golden cloak between them. Below, a shelf of wigs and a green parrot watch over a woman trying on curls, and a small painted forest corner holds fake trees and boulders. Jewelry and tangled cords cover the front counter, each stall its own small world waiting to be pieced together.
