Chinese or Korean Antique Wooden Large Mask/1800s/Festival Mask/Dance Mask
About the Item
This is a very old wooden mask made in China or Korea, probably around the 1800s.
Many masks are also made in Japan, and their roots are said to come from China.
Famous items include lion masks.
At least not in Japan.
Since it is not a Japanese design, there is a wooden stick stuck in the back of the mask, but Japanese masks do not have such a structure.
This is a feature found in China or South Korea.
I'm not exactly sure what this mask looks like.
However, I purchased another smaller mask at the same time, and it is written in kanji characters as ``Golden Hair Great God''.
Perhaps this big mask is also another god, or a mask related to that god.
Also, I think that this mask probably had something like a lower jaw.
Then, cloth was attached to the mask, and people entered and danced during the festival.
In addition, there is a hole in the head of the mask, and it is thought that the coat of hair was expressed by pointing the feathers of the bird through this hole.
I posted an image of the Japanese lion dance as a reference.
And since this is a fairly large mask, I think it would be very cool to hang it on the wall.
Since it is a fairly rare item, I think that the possibility that the same thing will come out in the future is low.
Also, I want many people to know the goodness of antiques, so I set the price reasonably.
Weight: 4.5kg
As I mentioned earlier, there is another smaller wooden face, probably from China or Korea.
Please take a look there too.

- Large Antique Crucifix with a Hand Carved & Bronzed Wooden Corpus of Jesus 1800sLocated in Lisse, NLUnique and large size, antique corpus of Christ on a blackened oak cross. If you are looking for a large crucifix with a not too overwhelming corpus of Christ for your house of prayer or for your home(chapel) then this unique ecclesiastical antique from the late 1800s could be the one. According to the former owner, this ancient bronze-color painted and sizable corpus and cross came from a monastery in Germany. The details in the anatomy of this Christ sculpture are very well carved and they clearly reveil the work of a seasoned carver / sculptor. We were also immediately impressed by the coloring, because the patina on this corpus from a little distance very much resembles the patina of antique bronze sculptures that you can find in every major market square here in Europe. We also particularly appreciate the details in the face and the position of the head of Christ. Both the angle in which He bowes His head and the details in His face are very realistic and they leave a lasting impression. We believe the artist has perfectly captured the moment in which Jesus bowed His head as He died on the cross. The ebonized oak cross is original to this corpus, but we think it was ebonized later in time, because it makes this unique and stunning sculpture stand out better. This solid oak cross has metal-strengthened openings in the back (both atop and at the bottom) via which this crucifix is safe and easy to mount. Because of the quality, the rarity, the large size, the beauty and the deeper meaning we are convinced that this antique crucifix too will find a new home soon. Whether it be in a private home, monastery or in a church, this work of religious art from the late 1800's will never fail to impress. Thanks to the pair of metal hooks on the back, safely mounting this ecclesiastical antique tight to your wall will be very easy to do. Our fair price for this one of a kind crucifix even includes perfect packing (in a custom made crate) and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days. Maximum height x width x depth of the cross & corpus: 56 x 30.5 x 8 inches. Maximum height x width of the antique wooden corpus...Category
