Description:
Mask of a demon divided into two halves : facial part and the headregion supported by hair arranged systematically to give a specific look. Angry facial expression. Fully open prominent eyes more or less roundish in shape with a curved outline near the nasal bridge reddish in colour - all meant for showing the angry facial expression. Eyebrows very prominent and curved syncronising with the shape of the eyes. Short and flat nasal bridge but very broad at the free end with wide nostrils. Thick lips are widely open exposing the broad white teeth of both upper and lower jaws leaving a gap of 1" or so between the two rows. Four pointed teeth projected from the two ends of the lips - two at each end - one in the upper row and the other in the lower row. Very broad and extended moustach extending up to the whisker. The salient feature of the mask is the two decorated very big and curved horns - one on each side of the head. Two very big silver colour rings hanging from the ears. Body colour reddish. A line of glittering substance is there between the line of hair and the forehead. The head is covered with thick black hair arranged in systematic order extending upward and wideways uniformly so as to give it a shape like a fan.
