About the Item
An impressive copper alloy mask of Arhat, the disciple and follower of Buddha (also known as Luohan in Chinese) from Tibetan region circa 19th century. The larger-than-life mask has striking iconic facial features: large, rounded eyes under bushy eyebrows, wide nostrils, full lips and elongated earlobes. The molded mask is lined with a red lacquered line-like textile on the back with seams still visible on the edge. Masks with realistic rendition of Arhats were not as common as the fantastical and fierce deity masks, but they were likely also made in Tibetan monasteries and used by lamas and monks for parading or dancing in certain Buddhism rituals and ceremonies. The gilded service displays a wonderful patina from handling.
The mask is displayed on a custom-made stand as shown.
