I purchased this item from this site, advertised as a wooden mask, but it appears to be made of resin. The entire piece is finished in gold, and the deeply carved design would look great displayed on a wall. On the back, there are inscriptions that appear to be a lion's mouth, the characters "己丑二月," and a signature. As far as I can see, there are no noticeable scratches or chips. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a new or perfect item. Thank you for viewing.
