Subject:A pottery mask from America or.... Asia?
Posted By: Luciano Fri, Oct 04, 2019 IP: 193.204.90.105

Hello,
I am sorry to be so inaccurate but according to the seller, this pottery mask is from Asia while to me it should be from some pre-Columbian american culture...
Size is 22x18 cm and I think it is just a well made replica, not an original one. At the bottom in the back of the mask, there is also the writing "KOLUGIEN" but it doesn't suggest anything to me....
Have you ever seen similar masks? What do you think about it?
Thanks a lot for your kind attention and best regards,
Luciano

Hi Luciano,
I think it may be Korean. It is very similar to some wooden Korean masks I recently acquired.
Thanks,
Shea

Hi Shea,
thank you so much for your kind advice: I have checked but I do not know, probably I am wrong but I do not think this mask could be from Korea.
Anyway, I'll check more and if I find an evidence, I write you again.
Best regards,
Luciano
