An Indonesian carved and painted wood sickness type mask, with distorted nose and mouth, pierced below the eyes, 35cm

Condition Report

The paint has an aged/faded look that can only come with time. The majority of faults/flaws are visible on the online images. There is a small chip to the bridge of the nose, paint chips everywhere particularly around the top, sides and base. There are old woodworm holes throughout which look long vacated. The mask is structurally sound. There appear to be no detrimental splits or damage. It appears to have been used in ceremony and is more than a wall decoration.
