Nepal Mask God Mask Antique
Product Details
Thank you for your interest in this item.
This was acquired during a trip to Nepal.
It is a mask from the Tharu people, who live in southern Nepal, and is said to be used by shamans to ward off evil spirits and illness. It has a face that is somewhere between a bird and a human, resembling a Karasu Tengu (crow-billed goblin).
There are significant cracks on the upper and lower parts of the back of the mask from the time of purchase. It has been about 5-6 years, and the cracks have not worsened, so I believe it is fine, but please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about this.
Daily Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals. For mesh areas, use diluted mild detergent and a soft brush.
Drying: Air dry in a cool, shaded place after cleaning. Avoid direct sunlight or high heat, which can cause fading and glue deterioration.
Storage: Stuff with paper to maintain shape when not in use. Store in a dry, ventilated area to prevent mold. Rotate between multiple pairs to extend lifespan.
Usage Notes: Designed for basketball. Not recommended for hiking, long-distance running, or other specialized sports where different performance features are required.
