Kyogen mask

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Dark-colored mask with a wide face and a scowling expression. The mask has a bald head with wavy lines carved into the forehead. The eyebrows are made of hair-like material and are positioned on the outer edges of the eyes. The eyes themselves are empty, with no pupils or irises visible. The nose is small and slightly upturned. The cheeks and chin have deep, curved lines carved into them. The mouth is downturned with a small, pointed chin. The mask appears to be made of wood or stone. The background is light-colored and featureless. The mask is titled "Kyogen mask" and is by an unknown artist.
