These 3 dimensional masks do not come up very often. Made in the Austrian tradition like Goldscheider, it is not marked. After, many years of working with these masks, we have learned that great pieces were also made in Czechoslovakia and Germany during the same period. I am guessing that this piece is from the Czech Republic, even though the quality, finish and colors are very similar to those associated with Goldscheider. What is particularly great about this piece in addition to her beautiful face, she has a stylized deco hat and wonderful hands. Again, these 3 dimensional pieces are much more rare then the typical head/masks you normally see. The back has incised numbers: 1190, so this must be a model number of sorts. Has the nice rich blue and orange typical colors from this Austrian palette. Here is a chance to own a truly remarkable mask, that is quite rare.
