Pair of Bhutanese Mahakala (red and black) painted ceremonial dance masks, hand carved in the early part of the 1900’s. The rich glossy patina was accomplished over the years by liberal coatings of a naturally occurring resin (extracted from the Lac bug) that dries to a high-gloss sheen. They are both in excellent condition with no repairs or / restorations. Ideally to be sold as a pair, but can be sold separately.
