Noh mask - Wood - 般若/Hannya

This is a striking carved wooden Hannya mask with strong visual presence. The sharply pointed horns, gilded eyes and teeth, and dramatically opened mouth create the intense and haunting expression that is characteristic of the Hannya. There is visible wear to the painted surface, including flaking, scuffs, and minor scratches, all of which add to the mask’s aged character and atmosphere. The reverse shows clear carving marks, reflecting the strength and texture of hand-carved woodwork. A cord is attached, allowing it to be displayed as a wall-hanging decorative object. The Hannya mask is one of the most iconic motifs in Noh theater and is highly appealing as a decorative and collectible object representing traditional Japanese culture. It is a piece that brings both tension and beauty into a space.
