A unique piece of spirituality and tradition, this authentic Nepalese shamanic mask is crafted from yak hide.
This extraordinary object embodies the craftsmanship and symbolism deeply rooted in the shamanic culture of the Himalayan regions.
Traditionally, these masks are created by first carving wood into the desired shape; the wood is then rubbed with yak butter, covered with yak hide, and heated over a fire—a process that molds the hide into the intended form.
In Nepal, the shaman plays a significant role in society. They wear this mask while channeling spirits, allowing them to attract benevolent spirits and ward off malevolent ones.
These "good" spirits assist in healing illnesses and guide villagers through major life transitions, such as birth, changes in social status, and death.
Perfect for enriching a collection of ethnographic art or a *Wunderkammer* (cabinet of curiosities), this piece also serves as an ideal interior decoration, adding a touch of mystery and exotic charm.
The mask features minor imperfections and traces of fur, inherent to its handcrafted nature.
