Information sought on Noh Mask

[Kmad]

Hi 

Not sure where to put this question so I have added it here.

I picked this up in a Car boot sale over the weekend, I did not pay a lot so it is is a rubbish tourist piece I don't mind as I really like the workmanship

fantastic piece of carving and I  think some  age to it also 

I am not finding much on the net about these so would love some opinions as to age, what the tag might say and are these anyway collectable and any idea of value.

Many thanks all 

Regards

Nice piece. And if you didn't pay much even better. I was eyeing this Noh mask at a fancy flea market in Paris a couple of months ago. The carving and coloration on the inside are comparable. 

I probably know about as much as you, but I find them to be aesthetically attractive works of art. I'm sure there are ways to date them, especially if signed but I don't have those references. 

Edit: Not sure why the images are formatted like this when uploaded on a PC. I'll correct this when I get on my Mac.

Kmad, looks like one sticker over another…(?)

Old Japanese price tag???

Thanks both for the interest,

I don't think it is 2 stickers but I'll check under magnification when i go home,

FYI no history with the item at all,   it was just in a box of general house clearance cups saucers etc. I just admired the carving without a clue as to what it was but it is really growing on me as i think it has good age to it and is educating me with the research.

Paid 10 euro which I think was good bargain!

Keep well

Ken,

the photo of the sticker(s) ( I see two of them as well) is upside-down, so difficult to read.

I see what you are both  saying re 2 stickers I will check later this evening

I think there might have been a tear here?
