Pair of Antique Chinese Paper Mache Carnival Masks with Wax Makers Mark

Pair of antique Chinese-style paper mache masks, found in the Netherlands.

Each mask carries a wax stamp with characters — possibly a tax stamp or a maker's mark. Larger than life-size heads, made to be worn. Age-associated wear.

Wonderful collector's pieces — striking displayed on a wall in an eclectic interior, a collector's cabinet room, or a vintage carnival and folk-art collection. Price is for both masks.
