Hi everybody, does anyone know how to put into English "Baseler Vollmasken"?

Has anybody heard about this concept in English?

Thank you!

full-face masks in the Basle style

That's at least what the following website calls it:

Roger Jenkins provides both full-face masks (in the Basle style) and half masks (from Java) from his collection (as featured in the Arts Central I-Collector series.)

full costume

In terms of the Carnival in Basel, "Vollmasken" refers to the entire costume, not just the mask proper. "Vollmasken" are full costumes as opposed to just masks. The term is also used for people who dress up as something or other instead of just putting on a mask.
