Wood Carved Folk Mask

An 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.

We believe this mask dates from the mid-to early Showa period, perhaps Mejia. The mask was acquired from an antique mask...
