This is a most unusual set of four small papier mache Japanese mask faces with gesso coverings. All four are covered in a reddish maroon gesso and all have very fierce expressions. All of them have real hair on their head, especially the eyebrows, mustaches and sideburns. Each expression is unique and clearly hand made. The four masks all have small sections where the gesso covering has chipped off - yet they make an impressive set when hung together on a wall. We date them to sometime from the Taisho to early Showa period, circa 1925-1940. |
