Description from the seller
Large Vintage Japanese Hand-Carved Wooden Hannya Mask – 37 cm Natural Timber Demon Wall Sculpture for Japandi Interior
【Description】
An impressive and classic vintage hand-carved wooden Japanese Noh/Kagura mask (Omen), portraying Hannya—the dramatic female demon spirit transformed by intense jealousy and passion.
Iconography & Artisanal Craftsmanship:
Large-Scale Horned Design:
Standing at an impressive total height of 37 cm, featured with tall sweeping horns, deeply furrowed brows, and a tragic open-mouthed grin.
Warm Natural Timber Finish:
Finished in a soft warm brown stain that highlights the underlying wood grain, giving it a refined, organic feel without heavy painted pigments.
Dimensional Carving: Expertly carved from solid timber with strong facial contours that catch light and shadows beautifully when wall-mounted.
Contemporary Interior Display:
With its iconic theatrical iconography and substantial size, this Hannya mask serves as a striking cultural focal piece for modern Japandi living spaces, entryways, or Asian art wall galleries.
【Condition】
Exhibits clean vintage condition overall with an authentic aged patina. Features minor surface finish scuffs along the nose tip and subtle historical handling marks near the horn bases. Structurally solid and fitted with a cord for wall display. Please inspect all detailed high-resolution photographs prior to bidding.
