Vermillion tilaka powder to the surface. A particularly serene, hand-carved depiction of the Buddha. This highly decorative Buddha Mask, hand-carved from a single piece of tropical softwood, comes to us via a reliable source. We can't guarantee the exact age of this Buddha Mask, though it certainly has some age on its side.

As a rule of thumb, the export of artefacts over 100 years of age is restricted from Nepal. Buddhas Masks of this type typically grace Nepalese homes, and are either the focal point of daily contemplation and meditation. Nepal and Tibet, the very act of creating such sacred artefacts is an act of devotion in itself. Increasingly here in the West, they are employed to bring serenity to an otherwise frenetic pace of life.

A great artefact from The Roof of the World. Please look carefully at the photographs as they form part of the description. Shown in the last image, a p.
