{"product_id":"vintage-handcrafted-leather-wall-mask","title":"Vintage Handcrafted Leather Wall Mask","description":"\u003cp\u003eA striking example of handcrafted leather artistry, this sculptural wall mask has been hand-shaped from thick vegetable-tanned leather and stained in rich warm brown tones that highlight its natural grain and texture. The expressive face features stylised almond-shaped eyes, a softly sculpted nose and mouth, and an intriguing asymmetrical expression that gives the piece remarkable depth and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwisted leather strands create the appearance of flowing hair, while dramatic folded leather frames the face like a ceremonial headdress or ruffled collar. The reverse reveals the craftsmanship involved, showing the moulded leather construction and hanging loop for easy wall display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular mask has a wonderful family story. It was discovered by my mother at a seaside market near Venezuela during her travels many years ago and has remained part of our family's collection ever since. While I can't verify its exact maker or country of origin, it carries the spirit of traditional artisan craftsmanship and the charm of a well-travelled treasure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe leather has developed a beautiful natural patina over time, adding warmth and authenticity to this unique piece. Its earthy tones and tribal-inspired aesthetic make it a striking addition to bohemian, eclectic, rustic, or globally inspired interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether displayed as a statement piece of wall art or added to a collection of vintage folk art and handcrafted objects, this mask is a one-of-a-kind conversation piece with both artistic appeal and a memorable provenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandcrafted moulded leather construction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRich hand-stained brown finish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwisted leather hair detailing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSculptural folded leather border\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHanging loop on reverse\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeautiful aged patina\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFamily provenance: acquired by my mother at a seaside market near Venezuela\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReady for wall display\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good vintage condition with age-appropriate wear, natural patina, and minor variations consistent with its handmade nature, all of which add to its character.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Venus Temple Botanica ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45383569440854,"sku":null,"price":149.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0720\/9526\/8950\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_f4249529-ffd3-4e5b-a37d-faa8616ec213.png?v=1784002392","url":"https:\/\/venustemplebotanica.com.au\/products\/vintage-handcrafted-leather-wall-mask","provider":"Venus Temple Botanica ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
