🛕 Key Features

  • Material & Finish: Solid brass with an antique patina that enhances details and evokes a vintage aesthetic.
  • Iconography: Represents Mahākāla (also identified as Bhairav/Kāl Bhairav), a fierce protector deity in Buddhist–and shared Hindu–pantheons
  • Design & Symbolism:
    • Makara-style spout: Inspired by classic Nepali “hitis” (stone spouts), where water gushes from the mouth of a mythical crocodile‑elephant creature—a symbol of purification and abundance
    • Fierce countenance: Mahākāla is depicted with an expressive wrathful face, invoking both awe and reverence—perfect as a guardian presence in any space.

🙏 Cultural & Spiritual Significance

  • Rich heritage: Reflects Newar/Himalayan metalwork rooted in tantric-Aryan Nepalese traditions.
  • Conversation piece: Beyond décor, this mask opens a gateway to conversations on trans-Himalayan culture and sacred art.
