- Hand Carved Wood Painted and Pigmented Primitive Tribal MaskLocated in Studio City, CAAn interesting piece. Quite unique. We are at a loss to what region this might be from. The facial features are very pronounced and the mask has been nicely colored with various pigments. The mask has some age to it and a nice patina. We are listing as early to mid-20th century but it could very well be older. From a collection of tribal artifacts...Category

- Japanese Okame Ko-Omote Wood Carved Noh Theater MaskLocated in Studio City, CAA beautiful, wonderfully crafted, alluring mask made for Japanese Noh theatre.

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 was acquired from an antique mask...Category
