About this product
Bhairav masks are made for festival use and as objects, and the carving conventions are fixed — the eyes, the teeth, the third eye, the crown of skulls all sit where they are supposed to sit.
Carved from a single block rather than assembled, then gessoed and painted. The paint is conventional mineral-pigment colours over a chalk ground.
Sold as a contemporary craft object. We do not represent it as a ritual mask that has been used, because it has not.
