This is a unglazed brown pottery Noh mask hand-painted in Japan with wonderful detail.  It was purchased at an estate sale so I am not sure of its age.  I believe it was purchased at the Smithsonian Museum or Metropolitan Museum of Art.  It measures 6-1/2" long (beard was not included in this measurement) X 5" wide and is in excellent condition with no damage.  Please check out my other Noh masks that were purchased at the same estate sale that I have listed separately.  Any questions, please email.  Thanks!
