Japanese Okame Ko-Omote Wood Carved Noh Theater Mask
$695
About
A beautiful, wonderfully crafted, alluring mask made for Japanese Noh theater.
This mask is handcrafted and carved from natural wood.
Ko-omote translates as "little mask" or sometimes "small face." This particular delicate featured mask (her red lips really stand out) is used for main and sometimes secondary roles when the character is a young girl or, in some cases, a supernatural being. What is also interesting about this mask is the blackened teeth which centuries ago, was customary for Japanese women to paint their teeth black after they became married.
We believe this mask dates from the mid-to early Showa period, perhaps Mejia. The mask as acquired from an antique mask collector.
Would be a great addition to any Japanese or Asian art collection or eye-catching stand-alone accent piece.
Dimensions: 9" high, 5.25" wide, 3" deep.
