Condition Report
Overall, this is unusual and interesting piece, showing some signs of use. The front exterior shows some signs of paint loss, particularly in the areas of greys and blacks. In contrast, the areas in red still show levels of glossy finish. Due to the decorative nature, the mask would benefit from a detailed cleaning. Additional images are now available.
