A RED-LACQUERED IRON RESSEI MENPO

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

Finely cast and forged in one section with a removable nose plate secured by turning pins, cast with flared nostrils and an open mouth revealing gilt-lacquered teeth, below the applied horsehair mustache and above a goatee, designed with deeply embossed wrinkles, the chin with ase-nagashi, and the cheeks with bent anchoring posts, all fitted with a five-lame yodarekake with predominantly blue lacing.

HEIGHT 24 cm
WEIGHT 501 g

Provenance: With Giuseppe Piva: Japanese Art, Milan. A private collection in Switzerland, acquired from the above in 2020. A copy of a signed and sealed certificate of authenticity from Giuseppe Piva, dated January 2020, confirming the dating above, accompanies the lot.
Condition: Good condition with minor wear. The lacquer with small age cracks, tiny chips to the edges and some flaking, some with associated touchups.

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 closely related menpo, dated to the 18th century, at Sotheby’s, The Samurai: Japanese Arms and Armour, 10 May 2022, London, lot 20 (sold for GBP 3,528 or approx. EUR 4,800 converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing).
