This human
face mask is so expressive that it almost looks like a real person. While
the eyes and mouth are just carved out holes, the nose is carfully carved.
The whole face is given a vigorous expression by the use of the movement
of the wood. This mask is most probably Magar from the Middle Hills around
Pokhara.
It has a brown patina with traces of white clay and red paint.
