Noh Mask Yoshitoku-sai Mask Object Ornament Interior

The image shows a type of Noh mask called **Shikami**.
Among Noh masks, it expresses a particularly intense angry expression. Deep V-shaped wrinkles are carved on the forehead, the eyebrows are raised, and the mouth is open, revealing golden fangs and teeth. It was named Shikami from the word shikameru (to grimace). It is used for roles such as fierce deities and the spirits of Tsuchigumo (a type of spider demon). Quoted from Google.
It is thought to be made of pottery or plaster, but the material is unknown.
