Pair of Vintage Mid-Century Modern Leather Sculpted Masks

This is a pair of vintage mid-century modern (MCM) leather sculptured masks, estimated to be from the 1970s. Each mask depicts a woman’s face. The mask on the left features a lighter, natural leather tone for the face with swirling layers of darker brown and black leather forming the hair or headdress. The mask on the right has a darker face, possibly ebonized or stained leather, and is framed by folded and layered leather with a distinct stripe pattern in tan and dark brown/black. The craftsmanship involves shaping and layering the leather to create three-dimensional depth and form. The pieces appear to be constructed by molding and stitching the leather, creating a textured and organic feel. The overall dimensions are approximately 20 inches wide by 17 inches high by 5 inches deep for the pair, though individual dimensions vary. The condition appears to be used, with potential wear consistent with their age, such as minor surface abrasions, slight discoloration, or loss of flexibility in the leather, though specific condition issues are not clearly discernible from the image. There are no visible manufacturer's marks or signatures in the provided image. The style is characteristic of the organic and sculptural aesthetics popular in MCM design. The unique use of leather as a sculpting material and the dramatic, stylized depiction of the faces are notable features that highlight the period's artistic trends. The quality of the work appears good, with skillful manipulation of the leather to achieve the desired shapes and textures.
