Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $200**

Central Asia, Nepal, ca. early 20th century CE. A hand-carved wooden mask of a circular form with a concave verso. The hemispherical countenance presents with diamond-shaped eyes, a slender nose with gently flared nostrils, an ovoid mouth, and a pair of V-shaped ears. Atop the head is a perforated suspension tab that perhaps enabled the mask to be hung when not in use. Masks like this were used for the rich Nepalese mask festivals and may perhaps represent a shaman or a child. Size: 5.5" W x 6.125" H (14 cm x 15.6 cm)
