AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This mask is an old one (pls look at last two photos of backside and bottom) and it has a beautiful patina of the old pant and wood. Some scratches, erosion and scufs and contributes to the authenticity of the item. It has been put in a custom made stand (height on stand 43 cm) and the dimensions of the mask itself are aprox 33x28x18cm. I personally really like the expression of the mask it seems that under a different angle the expresion is different, pure craftmanship. Unique collectors item! Found it in Krambitan where it was at the entrance of a private tempel, it was above the offering altar, the funny thing was that it was smoking (kretek / sapoerna) sigaret when i bought it. There is a round hole in its mouth where they placed every day for many years a sigaret during the offering ceremony....
