Chinese Hand Carved Wood HEAD MASK Dragon - 13.5" x 8.25" - Blonde Wood

Description

I have just moved from my house in NJ where I was a big collector of a variety of objects to outfit my big Victorian. Now that we have moved to Florida, there is just no way to keep so many things.
Description
:
I don't remember where I obtained this piece. I think it was at an auction in NJ. I had put it away, intending to add hooks and wire so I could hang it in the library.....I only just got to it....and now I don't have much room in the new house to display it.
This is really an outstanding piece and appears to be a man/dragon.
Made of a blonde-colored wood that has a very tight grain. It kind of looks like maple, but that probably would not have been available in Asia where this would have been made.
The mask is quite large, measuring 13.5” long by 8.25” wide. The depth is about 3.5”.
It has lovely detail in the carving.
This did not have hangers when I bought it. It has a hole of about 5/8” at the top that looks like maybe a pole was inserted for use or display.
Condition
:
No flaws seen.
Please note that the hangers were only just added by me. The wood is very hard and one of the eye hooks broke off below the wood. You will see a dot below the existing eye hook
I apologize ahead of time for the cost of shipping. I only ship USPS Priority as I feel I can insure the package.
Please feel free to contact me if you
have any questions.
