Saman Wooden Mask
Mask is a form of disguise. It is an object that is frequently worn over or in front of the face to hide the identity of a person and by its own features to establish another being. This essential characteristic of hiding and revealing personalities or moods is common to all masks. As cultural objects they have been used throughout the world in all periods since the Stone Age and have been as varied in appearance as in their use and symbolism. The masks we offer are all produced in Nepal by the various ethnic groups inhabiting the Terai (the low plains of the south along the Indian border), the Middle Hills and the northern Himalayas.
