GiTAGGED® Golden Devi Chhau Mask – Tharkozi Design (2 Ft)

The tradition of making Chhau masks started during the rule of king Madan Mohan Singh Deo of Baghmundi. It is traditionally associated with the age-old dance forms in Purulia, West Bengal.
The Chhau Mask has ferocious facial expressions, bloodshot eyes, wide dilated nostrils, wrinkled skin, and open mouth from which fangs come out.
The masks are made up of paper pulp, mud, and clay subsequently dried in the sun to make it hard. The masks are then colorfully painted.
