Surya Rutten

Old Nepalese mask carved from a mushroom. 
This type of mask is called a "fog-eater". They were hung in homes for protection. 
The idea was that they could ward off fog in the mountains; as fog was dangerous when one had to go outside. 

References: Pannier, F. (ed.), Himalayan masks, 5 Continents, 2009.
