Mask
anoniem, c. -1100 - c. -800
The human face is only rarely found on ancient Chinese bronzes. This mask features large ears, bulging eyes, a huge nose, and an enormous open mouth clearly revealing teeth. It must have made a terrifying impression and probably served as decoration on a shield to strike fear in the enemy's heart.
