\"\"<\/a>Sharon Lowen, a scholar and performer of Indian traditional dances, sent me this photo of Sri Balaram, a character from one of the Chhau dances in Purulia, and the brother of Krishna. It is an unused performance mask, 13″ x 10 1\/2″ x 7″, collected in 1974 from a mask-maker at the Paus Mela Fair in Santineketan, Bengal. Its eyes are not opened yet because dancers do this themselves.<\/div>\n

Sharon will be in the United States for the first time in 5 years and have two days to disperse (or bring back to India) folk art collected in the 70\u2019s and 80\u2019s. If you have any friends in LA who might be interested in seeing and buying chhau masks, framed Odisha pata chitra paintings or nice textiles, please share this link with them. There will be almost 50 pieces on Indian folk art for sale in Griffith park July 24-26.\u00a0 Look at Sharon’s India collection in LA<\/a><\/div>\n
