Two long \u003cstrong\u003ehorns\u003c\/strong\u003e sweep up from the temples and taper to polished points, and the face beneath them is worked hard: a deeply furrowed brow folded into sharp ridges, wide staring eyes, flared nostrils over a broad hooked nose, and a grin pulled back over rows of teeth with long fangs at the corners. Pointed ears sit at either side, each hung with a small loose ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003esnake\u003c\/strong\u003e is what ties the piece together. It rears up between the horns with its jaws open and its own fangs showing, then winds back over the crown, around one horn, down past the cheek, and coils beneath the chin with the tail curling clear at the bottom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe carving separates the snake's \u003cstrong\u003eback scales from its belly\u003c\/strong\u003e — a diamond lattice along the spine, banded scutes underneath — which is the sort of detail most castings at this scale skip entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reverse is worked as well: the coils continue around the back of the mask rather than stopping where they leave sight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything is left in a fine satin with polish saved for the brow ridges, the nose, the teeth and the snake's head, so the modelling holds shadow instead of flaring out under light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bail is \u003cstrong\u003ehidden\u003c\/strong\u003e — set behind the horns so nothing interrupts the mask from the front, with a 5mm opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Noh theatre the Hannya is the mask of a woman consumed by jealousy and grief until she becomes a demon. Read from below it looks enraged; tilted down it reads as sorrowful.
