Description

wood, metal, base

The mask is completely covered with grooves and its features are exaggerated to the point of mannerism.

For comparable work, possibly from the same workshop, see AHDRC 0042301.

The design of the handle makes it clear that this is not a functional knife, but a pure show knife designed to impress.
