An angular wooden folk mask from Nepal, in the shamanic Middle Hills tradition, early to mid-20th century. The long triangular nose and deep eye sockets give the face a sharp, geometric presence. Compact in size and easy to hang as wall décor.
The reverse is hollowed in a V-shape; side holes take a cord. No glass or mirror inlay. Offered as an object in that tradition, without a claim of proven ritual use.
Condition
Dark patina, visible chisel marks and light wear consistent with age.
