Condition

Extensive overpainting across face visible with ultraviolet light. Textile headwrap and wood mask are likely not original to one another but are both from the stated time period. Abrasions, chips, and fissures to wood, with expected desiccation to textile headwrap, and chips to eyes, otherwise in nice condition. Great facial expression. Previous inventory label on verso.
