It&#8217;s strange and deeply made of strong papier mach\u00e8. I thought it was too little but I saw similar items being used during some festivals. On the rear is written India 1958 and this made me think it was original. If you can help me I&#8217;ll be grateful. Thanks, Monica  1519<\/p>\n<p>A:  I have seen papier mache masks of this character made in Nepal, but they were 14 inches, not 8 like this one. Nor did they have depth, thickness or cloth covering on the rear. Also, they were about 10 years old, not 60. I really can&#8217;t tell you more about this intriguing little mask other than, yes, I like it. Hopefully someone will help us with a comment.<a href=\"https:\/\/dev.masksoftheworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/aaaMystrySolvd-1519b.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.masksoftheworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/aaaMystrySolvd-1519b-185x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"185\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-7764\" srcset=\"https:\/\/masksoftheworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/aaaMystrySolvd-1519b-185x300.jpg 185w, https:\/\/masksoftheworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/aaaMystrySolvd-1519b-768x1242.jpg 768w, https:\/\/masksoftheworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/aaaMystrySolvd-1519b-633x1024.jpg 633w, https:\/\/masksoftheworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/aaaMystrySolvd-1519b-600x971.jpg 600w, https:\/\/masksoftheworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/aaaMystrySolvd-1519b.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 185px) 100vw, 185px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dev.masksoftheworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/aaaMystrySolvd-1519c.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.masksoftheworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/aaaMystrySolvd-1519c-258x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"258\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-7765\" srcset=\"https:\/\/masksoftheworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/aaaMystrySolvd-1519c-258x300.jpg 258w, https:\/\/masksoftheworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/aaaMystrySolvd-1519c-768x893.jpg 768w, https:\/\/masksoftheworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/aaaMystrySolvd-1519c-881x1024.jpg 881w, https:\/\/masksoftheworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/aaaMystrySolvd-1519c-600x697.jpg 600w, https:\/\/masksoftheworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/aaaMystrySolvd-1519c.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 258px) 100vw, 258px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Q: I posted this little Indian mask (20cm) because I think you would like it.
