Himalayan mask, Magar people, Nepal

A very rough mask with a powerful spirit, this mask has been collected from the Magar community in the remote district of Humla. Minimal carving, just eyes, noose and mouth are combined with a long thin noose on an elongated shape. Very hard wood, black patina with traces of glue and few hairs, obvious signs of use and age, circa mid 20th. Height 35 cm, very good condition. The mask is nicely presented on an iron stand
