Some masks are representative and frequently used in many different plays, while some are very specific and may only be used in one or two plays. Noh masks signify the characters' gender, age, and social ranking, and by wearing masks the actors may portray youngsters, old men, female, or nonhuman (divine, demonic, or animal) characters. The mask is in beautiful condition, and will come with an acrylic stand. The mask is signed on the inside of the piece. Measures 10"L x 8"W x 6" deep.
