AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Unique old ceramic wall mask with an intriguing appearance. On the back is a metal candle holder attached, which provides atmospheric lighting when a candle is lit. The origin of this particular object is likely Mexico and it has a mystical charm with a weathered finish and subtle color nuances that hint at age and character, features that resemble pre-Columbian Mexican or Mesoamerican art, such as the elongated nose and linear eyes. It is probably a replica but must be about 60 years old and was bought at an auction. — Ships with tracking.
