AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A striking Nepalese-style guardian mask featuring a fierce expression, prominent third eye, fangs, and a crown decorated with small skull motifs. The bold yellow, orange, red, and black painted details give it a strong Himalayan folk-art character.

Inspired by Mahakala / Bhairab protective imagery found in Tibetan and Nepalese traditions, this type of mask is traditionally associated with protection and warding off negative energy. Hand-carved and hand-painted, with visible artisan marks, surface wear, and natural age-related imperfections that enhance its vintage character.
Packed with care for secure delivery.
