Japanese Leporello of 55 Original Watercolored Demonic Masks
Leporello. Fabric on boards.
Leporello. Fabric on boards. . Very Good. Fabulous collection of watercolors showing Japanese masks of demonic characters. The shapes of the heads are all essentially the same. Varying from one to the next is the colors used, the swirls and lines and other creepy attributes endowed onto the head-shape. N.d., circa 1900 (based on the paper and boards). Closed, 25 by 18 cm. 55 panels with one mounted watercolor on each. Light soiling to the fabric covering the boards. (Inventory #: 005322)
