Vintage Hand Carved Wood Buddha Mask Wall Hanging Black Distressed 9.5"

This is a hand-carved wood Buddha wall mask, likely of Indonesian (Balinese) or Southeast Asian origin. Based on the measurements in your photos, it stands approximately 9.5 inches tall and 7.5 inches wide. The "peeling" you noticed is the original black lacquer or stain wearing away, revealing the natural light-colored wood underneath. In the reselling world, this is often called "distressed" or having a "natural patina," though being explicit about it is the best way to maintain your high transparency standards. Material: Solid hand-carved wood. • Design: Intricate carved ushnisha (top knot) and elongated earlobes. Hollowed back with a carved-in hanging integrated loop for easy wall mounting. • Dimensions: Approx. 9.5" H x 7.5" W x 3.5" D. • Style: Mid-Century Modern / Asian Folk Art / Boho Decor. Condition Report: • Finish: This piece features an original black lacquer/stain. There is noticeable peeling and surface wear to the finish, particularly on the forehead, hair, and earlobes, exposing the natural wood beneath (see close-up photos). • Structure: No cracks or structural damage noted. The wood is solid and the carving remains sharp. • Overall: Being sold in "as-found" condition. The wear gives it a lovely, authentic aged character perfect for a gallery wall or meditation space.
