Strong and refined face mask, West Nepal, mid 20th century

Very nice mask, this face mask from West Nepal. Truly professionally and carefully cut. See, for example, the upright ears, the toothed mouth and the extra edges around the eyes. The patina is somewhat crusty, anthracite in colour and varied. Tiny chip on the right ear. Can be coloured a bit to improve aestathics. The mask is neatly placed on a custom-made stand.
