拍品描述
A FINELY LACQUERED IRON RESSEI MENPO (HALF MASK)

Japan, 18th century, Edo period (1615-1868)

Finely cast and forged in 2 sections with a removable nose plate above a stiff mustache, designed with deeply embossed wrinkles on the cheeks with bent anchoring posts on cherry-floret grommets, the mask lacquered in roiro with gold teeth and red lips and nostrils, laced with a three-lame yodarekake with a black horsehair trim.

HEIGHT 25.3 cm
WEIGHT 408 g

Condition: Good condition with wear and small losses to the edges. The lacquer with fine age cracks, small chips, and flaking.

Masks have long played an important role in Japanese culture: in religious ceremonies, dance, Noh theater, and military costume. For samurai, masks served as a principal face defense and helped secure the helmet to the head more firmly. The majority of masks were half-length (menpo), covering the nose and the face below the eyes. Their iron surfaces are either lacquered or a dark russet finish; the interiors are usually lacquered red.

Auction comparison:
Compare a related lacquered-iron mask dated to the 18th century at Christie’s, Japanese and Korean Art, 23 March 2004, New York, lot 308 (sold for USD 3,346 or approx. EUR 5,100 converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing).
