Hand-Painted Traditional Lakhey Mask (30cm)

🌟 The Protector of the Kathmandu Valley

Bring the vibrant, fierce spirit of Nepal's ancient traditions into your home with this stunning, authentic Lakhey Mask.

The Lakhey ('Demon Dance') is a powerful performance tradition of the Newar community, most famously enacted during the great Indra Jatra festival. Despite his fearsome appearance—the bulging eyes, prominent fangs, and wild, fiery colours—the Lakhey is a benevolent Guardian Demon, revered for his role as a protector of children and a cleanser of evil spirits in the community.

This is more than a piece of art; it is a captivating piece of living cultural history designed to be a bold, protective presence in any space
