Deeply rooted in the country's rich cultural and spiritual heritage, these masks from Nepal are used in traditional rituals and dances, often to communicate with spirits, ward off evil, or bring good fortune. A beautiful and well-carved example, this piece exhibits refined facial features on a well-proportioned scale. These masks are an integral part of Nepal's cultural identity, particularly in rural areas where shamanic practices continue to thrive.
This piece was collected insitu in the 1980's and comes from a private Austrian collection. Custom stand included.
