Asura mask

Chittaurgarh, Rajasthan, India

13 inches, painted papier mache, hair, jewelry

Classic depiction of an Asura (demon) in Hindu mythology. Asuras were said to rule the netherworld and often clashed with the Gods over possession of heaven. This particular mask is one of the best I have ever seen with a fine articulating jaw, great hair, ear rings and other details. Used, but in very good condition.
