Cobra Demon Maske ( Naga Raksha ) Sri Lanka .. Naga Raksha Mask is known for protection from all sorts of evil spirits. 
Possession of these masks is believed to attract all sorts of good will while warding off bad fortunes. The attractive colors are used to symbolize the colors of fire. These masks are being used to perform Raksha dances in the
 traditional type of folk plays known as Kolam, performed in the west and south-west
 of Sri Lanka. The masks were traditionally carved from a tree known as the
 ’Kaduru’ tree which was believed to have mystical powers.

This mask is handmade using 100% Kaduru wood.
