Vtg Japanese Wooden Nio Guardian Mask

This is a Japanese hand-carved wooden mask of one of the Nio guardians, Agyou. It is a natural light brown wood color with a braided red cord with two tassels. 
Often seen at the gates of prominent Buddhist temples across Japan, the Nio Pair or Nio Kings embody physical force to keep evil and discord from entering. This mask is of Agyou, the open-mouthed guardian. Most notably, one of the most famous statues of Agyou can be found at the South Gate of Todaiji Temple in Nara.
