Lindus Posted September 22, 2010 Report Posted September 22, 2010 This came from my old teachers collection,always thought it a Noh mask but now cannot see that it could be worn as the interior is not suitably carved, any idea what it is.?apart from the obvious Roy http://www.collectorsloot.homestead.com Quote
estcrh Posted September 22, 2010 Report Posted September 22, 2010 Roy, it almost looks like a life mask or a death mask of a real person. Quote
Lindus Posted September 22, 2010 Author Report Posted September 22, 2010 Had not thought of that, certainly not in the European style as this is carved out of wood and the interior is quite rough, but the features are not Noh like and disturbingly lifelike. Did Japanese do "Death masks".? Roy Quote
