Item Details

Description

Shaman mask from the Himalayas in Nepal.

This mask is made of yak leather.

These masks are made traditionally by first processing wood into the desired shape. The wood is then rubbed with yak butter, after which the yak leather is placed on it and the whole thing is smoked over a fire.

In Nepal, the shaman plays an important role in society. He wears this mask while channeling spirits, allowing him to attract the right spirits and ward off evil spirits. These 'good' spirits help cure illnesses and guide villagers through important life changes involving the spirit world, such as birth, change in social status and death.

Such a mask can also be hung indoors, where it fulfills a protective function.

The mask is supplied without a stand. Dim: 24 x 17 x 10 cm, 251 gram. Combined shipping possible.

Reserve: $80.00
