Plaster Molds

Below is a mold made of plaster of Paris in the image of George Washington.  Used for molding chocolate. Maker unknown.

Pan or Satyr Head

His is an example of a hand made plaster face.  It has pointed ears and horns and overall seems to be a depiction of of fawn or satyr, perhaps Pan. Although not in very good condition is is very well-made and expressive. My best guess is that is is part of some kind of theater prop. Any information or opinions abut original, construction, purpose or age appreciated.
