AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

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.

Good old condition. No restorations.

Careful registered and insured sending.
