Wooden Japanese Traditional Japanese Noh Demon Mask of Shishiguchib 8.25x6x5.5

This Wooden Japanese Traditional Noh Demon Mask of Shishiguchib is a vintage original piece from Japan. Made of wood, this mask showcases traditional Japanese craftsmanship and design. Measuring 8.25x6x5.5 inches, it embodies the essence of Asian antiques and would make a unique and striking addition to any collection or display. The mask is crafted in a lighter wood with a smooth finish, featuring bulging eyes, pink and white painted fangs, a pig-like nose, and small horns above the brow.
This is a Japanese Noh mask of Shishiguchib (lion mouth), typically carved from wood and used in traditional theater. It is used in Noh theater performances, particularly in the play Shakkyō (Stone Bridge). The mask shown has a natural wood finish with pink and black details, though they are often gilded. Note: there is a 2" long chip at the top (see last 2 pics) that is not very noticeable when hanging as well as a 1/2" chip at bottom inside (pic 4)
