Vintage Clay Folk Art Mask Wall Hanging

Vintage Clay Mask Wall Hanging. Measures about 5" in height by 6" wide. Good condition. It looks like paint is cracking under eye. I did not wash this piece.

This vintage clay wall mask is a striking piece of folk art, measuring approximately 5 inches tall and 6 inches wide. The mask features a deeply pigmented black finish, providing a dramatic backdrop for the hand-painted geometric details in a diverse palette of teal, red, and earth tones. Its architectural headdress and prominent ear gauges suggest a design inspired by ancient cultural motifs, making it a powerful statement piece for a wall gallery or a specialized collection.

The piece displays an authentic aged character, including some minor paint cracking near the eye area that enhances its storied, "found" aesthetic. This mask has been left in its original, unwashed state to preserve the integrity of the vintage pigments and surface texture. It is a fantastic choice for those looking to add a touch of global history and hand-crafted texture to a modern or eclectic space.

This item is vintage, over 40 years old.
