🎨 VINTAGE HAND-CARVED JAPANESE ONI / KIJIN DEITY MASK WITH STONE EYES This is a striking, authentic vintage Japanese hand-carved wooden mask depicting an Oni (demon) or Kijin (fierce deity). This piece showcases beautiful traditional craftsmanship and is a fantastic addition to any collection of Asian art, theatrical masks, or unique cultural antiquities.💎 KEY FEATURES & MATERIALS:
• Artisan Craftsmanship: Entirely hand-carved from a single block of wood. The reverse side features the authentic, wide chisel and gouge marks from its original hollow-carving process.
• Unique Inset Eyes: The eyes are crafted from dense, dark, smoothly polished natural stone (highly consistent with polished obsidian or dark soapstone). They feature a beautiful waxy satin sheen and faint natural mineral grain lines under direct lighting.
• Hammered Metal Overlays: The eyebrows and cheek accents feature hand-hammered, textured sheet metal plates with stylized flame/cloud patterns, securely held in place by vintage metal pins.
• Dimensions: Approximately 10\" Height x 9\" Width. Includes a vintage hanging wire attached to the reverse side.⚠️ CONDITION REPORT (SOLD \"AS IS\"): missing a bottom fang Only issue!!! This mask is a true vintage/antique folk art item and is being sold strictly \"AS IS.\" Please review all photos carefully as they form the primary part of the description:
• The wood possesses a wonderful, naturally aged dark patina with authentic surface grain checking (minor natural age splitting) on the reverse and front.
• The stone eyes show minor micro-scratching and light surface scuffing from decades of handling, adding to its genuine character.
• One of the lower peg-teeth has fractured/chipped over time (clearly visible in the mouth details).
• Metal components show a natural aged tarnish/oxidation. No repairs have been attempted to preserve its historical integrity. Perfect for a collector who appreciates genuine, untouched weathered character.📦 PACKAGING & SHIPPING:
