In fair to good condition the mask is

The weighty decorative carved stone human skull showing a full set of teeth having a green patinated finish

surviving from early nineteenth century England

and 25 high Street

and urn and importantly

on an elaborate carved X-shaped frame having further rosettes with conforming carved spiral twist stretcher

and cooling taste

and globe production

The carved wooden ceiling in the King James Room and hand-painted Chinese wallpaper in the Dean’s Solarium
