Square eye openings sit beside a sharp central ridge that runs down the nose to a chevron mouth, with small ears standing out at either side. The back is hollowed with thick walls, made to be worn, and the surface carries the deep, worn patina of age and use.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt 24 inches tall and 9 inches wide, it gives a wall or a console a strong vertical accent. Hang it on a wall, set it on a console or lean it on a shelf, where the carved crest and ridge pick up side light. Age cracks and surface wear are part of its history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early 20th century\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wood with natural patina\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9\"(W) x 8\"(D) x 24\"(H)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark brown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Antique.

How can I display a carved wood mask at home?\u003cbr\u003eA mask can hang on a wall from a secure hook set into a stud or anchor, or lean on a console or shelf at a slight angle. Place it where side light falls across the carving so the crest and ridge cast shadow.\u003cbr\u003e2. What does a dark patina on an old wood mask mean?\u003cbr\u003ePatina builds slowly through age, handling and exposure, and it darkens and smooths the surface. Collectors read an even, worn patina as a sign of age, which is why age cracks and surface wear are expected on an antique mask.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e•\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e**Please bear in mind that colors of products shown may vary slightly from their original color due to monitor display settings or photography studio.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DE-COR | Globally Inspired","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68286309400813,"sku":"IMG_0937","price":665.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0288\/5256\/files\/IMG_0937_dec1e80d-9036-4ee0-babc-76336f85a6bd.jpg?v=1794514045","url":"https:\/\/de-cor.com\/products\/antique-oversize-crested-face-tribal-mask","provider":"DE-COR | Globally Inspired","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
