I’m drawn to pieces that feel as though they hold a space rather than decorate it.
This mask has a stillness to it — a sense of watchfulness without drama — and felt like a natural fit for the Inner Altar collection, where objects are chosen for presence, grounding, and quiet strength.

Safety information

This item is intended for indoor decorative use. It should be securely wall-mounted using appropriate fixings suitable for the wall type. Not a toy — keep out of reach of children and pets. Avoid exposure to moisture or high humidity, as this may affect the surface finish over time. Handle with care when installing or repositioning.

Full description

This hand-worked metal wall mask carries a quiet, watchful presence. Formed from a single sheet of metal and shaped through traditional repoussé techniques, the face emerges gently — calm, grounded, and contained.

The surface holds natural variations from the hand-working process, with soft undulations and a lived patina rather than a polished finish. Metal rings sit at the sides, adding balance and symmetry without distraction.

A decorative piece — one that lends itself naturally to an inner altar, threshold space, or reflective corner of the home and feels protective.

Details

Material: Hand-worked metal

Finish: Aged copper tones with natural patina

Construction: Repoussé and chased metalwork, pierced side rings

Mounting: Rear hanging point

Approximate size: 47 cm by 14 cm

Ideas for placement

This piece works beautifully:

At the edge of an inner altar, acting as a quiet guardian

Near an entrance or hallway, holding a threshold space

In a meditation or reading corner, paired with low light and natural textures

Against dark walls, linen backdrops, or warm plaster tones where the metal can catch shadow rather than glare

It pairs especially well with aged wood, stone, linen, candlelight, and subdued metallic accents.
