This hand-carved Bhutanese festival mask is a stunning piece of art that showcases the rich cultural heritage of Vajrayana Buddhism.
In Bhutan, it represents Gyengye, the guardian of Thimphu valley. However, in other Tibetan and Hindu traditions it represents the protective deity, Mahakala.
Crafted meticulously by a skilled artisan in Eastern Bhutan, this mask embodies traditional techniques and symbolism passed down through generations. Each intricate detail in the mask tells a story and holds a spiritual significance in Vajrayana Buddhism.
Whether displayed as an ornamental piece or worn during festivals and ceremonies, this mask is a testament to the craftsmanship and devotion to tradition that characterises Himalayan arts. Its intricate carvings and vibrant colours add a touch of mystique and elegance to any space, making it a truly unique and captivating piece for spiritual folks, collectors and enthusiasts alike.
Gyengye red mask is part of a set of two, together with the Gomo the male blue mask. They are traditionally hanged or displayed together to protect your house from evil forces and bad energy, but they can be sold together or separately.
