AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Fascinating large Italian decorative wall mask, handmade from leather and hide, dating to the 1970s/1980s.
Particularly beautiful is the artisanal craftsmanship: the leather is folded, layered and shaped, creating a surprising sculptural effect, highlighted by warm cognac and brown tones.
From the dense play of folds emerges a curious smiling, caricatured face, almost a fantastical character that evokes in the imagination the traditional folk culture and the world of Italian masks.
Signed at the bottom right.
An original example of Italian artistic craftsmanship, with a strong decorative presence, ideal for Mediterranean, vintage, or eclectic interiors.
Good vintage condition, with normal signs of wear. The photographs are an integral part of the description.
