Vintage Wood Mask. Measures about 9.5" in height by 7". Excellent condition. There is writing on the inside but I cannot read it.

This striking wooden mask is a beautiful example of mid-century decorative folk art, drawing inspiration from traditional global carving styles. Measuring 9.5 inches in height, the piece is hewn from a solid block of dense hardwood, showcasing a rich, dark grain that has been polished to a soft semi-gloss sheen. The features are elegantly stylized, with smooth, sweeping curves and precise geometric accents that give the face a balanced, contemplative expression.

The mask is in excellent condition, with no chips or cracks to the wood, and the hand-applied finish remains vibrant and even. Its medium scale makes it a versatile decor piece; it features a recessed back that allows it to hang flush against a wall, but it is substantial enough to be displayed on a stand or leaned within a bookshelf. This piece pairs exceptionally well with other organic materials like brass or woven textiles, adding a worldly, storied feel to a gallery wall or a curated mantel.

This item is vintage, approximately 50 years old. All measurements are close but approximate. I measure in quarter inches.
