His belt/mask being made from gold leaf is a fucking conspiracy lmao.

Its 40nanometers thin in some places, thers no fucking way in hell someone flattened out that gold with a hammer, I dont care how much time or patience you have. It seems physically impossible to me.

Then on top of that, the mask is two toned perfectly like it was dipped. It had to have been done with electroplating.

Its possible its a fake, but I doubt it.

The mask is 54 cm (21 in) tall, 39.3 cm (15.5 in) wide and 49 cm (19 in) deep. It is fashioned from two layers of high-karat gold, varying from 1.5–3 mm (0.059–0.118 in) in thickness, and weighing 10.23 kg (22.6 lb).[8] X-ray crystallography conducted in 2007 revealed that the mask is primarily made of copper-alloyed 23 karat gold to facilitate the cold working used to shape the mask. The surface of the mask is covered in a very thin layer (approximately 30 nanometres) of two different alloys of gold: a lighter 18.4 karat shade for the face and neck, and 22.5 karat gold for the rest of the mask.[9]
