Description
A Meiji period, Japanese miniature wooden and polychrome painted Noh mask on stand.
During the Meiji period in Japan (1868-1912), Noh theatre experienced a revival in popularity and many new Noh masks were created. Noh masks are an essential part of the traditional Japanese theatrical form, Noh. They were used by actors to portray different characters, emotions, and spirits in performances.
The most recognised Noh mask is the Hannya mask, which represents a jealous and vengeful female demon, and is actually quite terrifying! The mask is characterised by its sharp, fang like teeth, bulging eyes, and horns. The expression on the mask is often one of intense anger and suffering, making it a powerful symbol in Noh performances.
All Noh masks were often intricately carved from light weights woods such as Japanese cypress or hinoki. They were then painted with natural pigments to bring the characters to life on stage. The craftsmanship and attention to detail in these masks are highly valued, with each being a unique work of art.
The mask is in acceptable, original condition but has various losses to paintwork and large loss to chin.

To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.
If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item's Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.
Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.
Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.

Types of returns and responsibilities
Change of mind return
Consumers can return the goods due to a change of mind. Once a return is requested, the buyer is in charge of shipping the goods back to the seller and should organise it as soon as possible. Shipment costs to and from buyers are non-refundable.
Item not fit for purpose
Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.
Damage in transit
Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company. If the seller organised a delivery, they would be asked to raise a claim with their courier. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.
How to request a return
