\"\"<\/a>Q:\u00a0 This mask has just been restored. It had suffered serious damage in storage. I would be interested to know its origin and its age. The conservator believes it is probably 17\/18th century from Thailand, repainted red in the 19th century to bring it \u201cup to date\u201d with the craze for Indian artifacts at that time.\u00a0\u00a0 John,\u00a0 1478<\/p>\n

A:\u00a0 The restoration expert did a good job and could be right about age and location. Please tell me who she\/he is. Occasionally I’m asked for a recommendation.<\/p>\n

The mask is Hindu, but I can’t name the character or god. Also, it may be from India or Nepal… and the age is more likely early 20th century.\u00a0 I hope someone will help us correctly identify this beautiful old mask.\u00a0\u00a0 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","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
