Antique Hakata Doll Fujitake Otsukichi Old Woman Noh Mask Decoration Komai Ceramic with Wooden Stand Traditional Performing Arts

This was my great-grandmother's possession, so I believe it is from the Meiji period or earlier, making it quite an antique.

This is a wall-hanging *komen* (small mask) with a wooden base.
The mask appears to be made of ceramic.
Details are unknown, but it is a mask that shows its age.

There are signs of dirt and scratches that tell of its age. Please confirm.

Base: 24 cm x 14.5 cm
Mask: 14 cm x 8 cm

I would like to pass this on to someone who understands and appreciates antique items that have been stored for a long time.
It will be carefully and sturdily packed for delivery.
