Vintage Mohra Mask on Brocade

This piece features a vintage 20th-century Mohra mask from Himachal Pradesh, crafted using the repoussé technique. Mohra masks, traditionally made of brass or bronze, are used in temples and rituals to represent deities and serve as protective symbols. Commonly depicting Shiva, Durga, or local guardian deities, they are carried in processions and placed in shrines to invoke divine presence and ward off negative forces.

Mounted on black and gold brocade and framed in rustic gold, this composition highlights the deep cultural and artistic heritage of Himachal Pradesh, making it a distinctive and meaningful addition to any space.
