Hand-Painted Traditional Nepali Kumari Mask (30cm)
π The Living Goddess: Purity, Power, and Grace
Bring the divine grace of the Kathmandu Valley into your home with this exquisite, authentic Kumari Mask. The Kumari is revered in Nepal as a living goddess, the embodiment of the Hindu goddess Taleju. Her presence symbolizes purity, power, and protection.
Unlike the fierce protector masks, the Kumari mask captures a serene yet powerful countenance, often featuring the distinctive tika and elaborate ornamentation that symbolize her divine status.
This meticulously crafted piece is more than a wall hanging; it is a profound symbol of Nepali spiritual heritage, perfect for those who value cultural depth, serene beauty, and meaningful decor.
