The mask features two prominent horns on the forehead, illustrating the transformation of a woman's intense emotions into a supernatural entity. The craftsmanship of the mask captures a duality of expressions: the upper portion bears a sorrowful countenance while the lower exhibits a gaping mouth filled with rage, true to the Noh depiction of a vengeful female demon. This mask is traditionally used in performances to portray women who have become demons due to obsession or jealousy. Age has graced this Hannya mask with a dignified patina; signs of wear, minor scratches, and slight dirt are present, attesting to its authenticity and history. Some areas have been touched up, yet its condition remains good, as can be verified in the accompanying photographs. This mask is not only a captivating decorative piece but also a protective talisman against evil spirits, serving as a powerful guardian in any space it occupies. Dimensions: approx.
