Uba mask Japan 8 inches, painted wood, hair Noh masks set the standard for carving perfection ever since the Shogun officially recognized the artform, clearly defining styles and features, back in 1647. Uba, a woman in a deranged state of mind, is actually a goddess in disguise in the famous play Isemonogatari. Like any true Noh mask, this is not a molded piece, but is hand carved out wood. Some paint loss, but in good condition considering its age. SOLD
