Antique Tibetan Carved Wooden Mask

Antique Tibetan hand-carved wooden deity mask, Mahakala, a very fierce and powerful being and counterpart to Kali / Mahakali. His name means "Greater than Time" as he upholds ultimate rule and power over all forces, including time and death. This hand carved mask is indeed very fierce looking, with signs of wear and traces of old lacquer all throughout. Some losses consistent with age.
