Classic Tibetan Wooden Mask
Product Description
Classic Tibetan Wooden Mask: Protection from Evil
A classic Tibetan mask of Dharmapala, protector of Buddhist faith. This was used in a monastery's ritual Cham ceremonies depicting the victory of Buddhism over the demons that once ruled Tibet. Fine carving, with a lively smiling skull crown and nice patina.
The theory is that if you are scary enough even the frightful evil spirits will keep their distance - and this mask certainly passes that test! And, yes, those are tiny skulle which decorate the mask's headress. The mask is imaginatively hand painted.
