Blood red lips curl back from jagged teeth; the genuine Japanese Hannya-men from traditional Noh drama is carved of wood, signed on back and comes enclosed in a brocade bag and kiri-wood box signed Nakajima Senun. The surface is covered in a hard, gofun like substance with gold eyes and gold horns. It measures 8-1/4 inches (21cm) long and was made to be worn, and would appear to be from the later half of the 20th Century. .
