Mid Century Folk Art Face Sculpture Grotesque Ceramic Wall Hanging

This is a handmade ceramic grotesque face mask sculpture, likely intended as a decorative wall hanging or freestanding art piece. The exaggerated, whimsical features—prominent nose, bulging cheeks, squinted eyes, and subtle “smile”—give it a playful yet eerie, folk-art vibe reminiscent of mid-20th-century studio pottery or carnival-inspired masks (e.g., Venetian Commedia dell’Arte influences or Black Forest grotesques). He has 3 little stars pressed into his left cheek. It is in excellent condition. 4” tall, 3.5” wide.
