拍品描述
A RARE MYOCHIN SCHOOL IRON SOMEN (FULL FACE MASK)

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

Forged in sections with a removable nose plate and designed with deeply embossed eyebrows and deep wrinkles on the cheeks, with straight cord pegs on the chin on cherry-floret grommets. Fitted with a gold-lacquered two-lame yodarekake with orange and cream lacing as well as metal dragon-form fittings.

HEIGHT 25.4 cm (the mask) and 37 cm (total)

Condition: Very good condition with minor surface wear, fine dark patina.

The existence of somen (full masks) goes back to the Muromachi Period but quickly declined in popularity as the full coverage of the face was found to be uncomfortable and impractical since it did not provide any functional advantage. They continued to be made as showpieces for high-ranking lords as opposed to practical armor accoutrements.

Auction comparison:
Compare a closely related iron Myochin school Menpo at Christie’s, Bushell Collection of Japanese Sword Fittings & Works of Art, 28 October 1998, New York, lot 707 (sold for 21,850 USD).
