Vintage Wooden Thira Mask

This stunning vintage wooden tribal mask is a remarkable collectible, featuring the depiction of Thira, a form of the revered Hindu goddess Kali from the state of Kerala in India. This mask is an authentic representation of the traditional Poothan Thira dance, which is performed during the annual temple festival of Pooram in different districts of North Thrissur, Pallakkad, and South Mallapuram. The dance form is considered to be a spiritual practice, as it is believed to cleanse the village from evil spirits during the festive season. The mask is beautifully handcrafted and mounted on a removable stand, making it an exquisite focal point in any space.
