Description
This is a handmade mask carved out of wood. These masks (kagura) are used in traditional art performances across Japan. This is a mask of Tengu (天狗), which is a general term for various gods, both benevolent & malevolent, in many different traditional religious sects of Japan. This is the standard Tengu mask used in Noh, which has a red face & long nose. This mask hasn't been used in a performance & was made to be decoration. While there is actual dust from being displayed for decades, much of the old look is part of the design & is standard among most masks.
