Q:<\/strong>\u00a0 I have an old wooden Japanese mask and would like it identified and dated. Can you help? I have not found another in my research on Google.\u00a0\u00a0 Ian, 1257<\/p>\n

A:<\/strong>\u00a0 Many of the Noh plays feature one or more old men in the cast. Identifying your particular old man\"\"<\/a> will be difficult.<\/p>\n

I think it is from the the first half of the 20th century. The quality of the carving suggests it sold for a lower price. Perhaps you can find someone fluent in Japanese to translate that old label. What the label says might raise or lower the value a little.\u00a0 A-<\/strong>\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
