Condition

The mask has been used a lot, and this is reflected in its condition. It has several chipped edges, and, in particular, he has a large chip under his chin. There is a few small cracks. There is some kind of glue under the mouth, inside. The white dye with which it was painted has faded in many places. The string inside looks more recent than the mask, it has probably been replaced after its construction. There are traces of soot. Either way, the mask is absolutely solid in every single part.
