Lot 2206 | Außergewöhnliche Maske einer verstorbenen Person
Estimate value
€ 3 000
Japan. 19. Jahrhundert

Zeder (sugi), geschnitzt und fein bemalt. Echthaar, an feine Streifen geknüpft. Zähne aus Bein geschnitzt. Ungewöhnliches Portrait einer verstorbenen Person mit geschlossenen Augen und tief in die Höhlen gesunkenen Augäpfeln. Der leicht geöffnete Mund entblößt gelbliche, etwas unregelmäßige Zähne. Auf der Stirn sind unter den offenen und ungekämmt ins Gesicht fallenden Haaren dunkle Adern und kurze Haarsträhnen gemalt.

Die überaus realistische Darstellung datiert die Maske ins 19. Jahrhunder Angelehnt an Nô-Maske Kagekiyo, ist die Darstellung nicht wie üblich stilisiert, sondern von erschreckender Realität. Ein Kunstwerk von Hokusai mit ähnlichem Thema, nämlich zwei abgeschlagene Köpfe, wurde im Dez. 2014 in den Räumen von VAN HAM verkauft (A. 347, Lot 249).

Wir danken Stephen Marvin, Autor von "Heaven Has a Face; So Does HelLänge: The Art of the Noh Mask", für die freundlichen Hinweise. Länge 24cm, Breite 15cm, Tiefe ca. 7cm. Zustand A/B. Am Kinn und auf der rechten Wange Oberfläche restauriert.
