Shamans mask

Middle Highlands, Nepal

8 inches, wood

Q: The mask is 8 in long. The way the forehead runs into the nose and the big teeth are suggestive of an animal. The form is really interesting-- primitive, but quite sculptural. I was told it is Himalayan.  David, 9-7-11,   203
A: A Middle Hills shaman's mask, but unlike any I've seen. This is a powerful little carving, perhaps inspired by the snow leopard.
