This auction is for a what we believe to be a beautiful antique or vintage Chinese wooden hand carved rosewood mask with a Buddha-like happy expression, long ears, and a row of carved cow bone teeth. We do not see any makers marks on the mask and are unsure as to who made it or as to where exactly it was made. We are also unsure as to how old the mask is but believe it to be vintage. The mask appears to have been hand carved and also has what appears to be a row of carved teeth that we believe were made from cow bone. It appears that the mask may have also originally had a set of upper bone teeth although they are no longer there and missing. We are unsure if the mask had inserts where the eyes are as it looks like there may have been something in these areas at one time as well and we have seen other examples with additional bone accents. We are not certain but we believe the mask is made of dense and fairly heavy rosewood. The mask has aging, wear, fading, scratches, nicks, dings, dents, manufacturing imperfections, and some hairline-type cracks on the reverse side. The mask has three nails on the reverse side that we believe can be used to hang the mask up. We are uncertain if all of these nails are original to the mask or not. The mask measures roughly 9 1/4” x 5“ x 3 3/16” at its furthest points and weighs roughly 1 lb. This beautiful antique or vintage Chinese wooden hand carved rosewood mask with a Buddha-like happy expression, long ears, and a row of carved row of cow bone teeth is sure to be a nice addition to your collection.
