拍品描述
AN IRON IWAI ETCHU-BO MENPO (FACE MASK)

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

Finely cast and forged in 2 sections with a removable nose plate above a stiff mustache and imperial goatee, the etchu-bo menpo chased and engraved overall with yasurime and cast with flared nostrils and an open mouth revealing gold lacquered teeth, the chin applied with ase-nagashi, the cheeks with bent anchoring posts below the cheek ridge, all above the four-lame yodarekake lacquered black and laced blue.

HEIGHT 22.8 cm
WEIGHT 408 g

Condition: Very good condition with minor wear, the lacquer with expected age cracks as well as flaking and rubbing.

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 (mempo), 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 yasurime mempo, dated 18th century, at Bonhams, Fine Japanese Art, 11 May 2017, London, lot 132 (estimate GBP 5,000-6,000).
