cLATE 1800s MIDDLE HILLS AREA HIMALAYAN CARVED WOODEN MASK, VERY IMPRESSIVE! #3

Part of a large Ethnographic collection recently purchased, this is one of several Himalayan masks that are being listed on eBay. Long undervalued, Himalayan masks are gradually establishing a strong niche in the Ethnographic market, quality masks have risen nicely in price over recent years. This particular mask is 100% genuine and may be earlier than late 1800s. It has a striking look about it, having a very prominent chin & cheeks with an almost sorrowful look. It measures 25.5cms high x 17.5cms wide. Minor age loss to one side but I think it adds to its charm. VERY NICE !!!!!
