Hand-Carved Nepalese Dragon Mask

Hand carved from solid wood, this striking mask captures the sinuous form of a Tibetan dragon. The wide eyes, coiled horns and flowing mane are painted in vivid colours to create a dramatic focal point. It makes a bold statement in any boho or alternative interior.

Dragons in Himalayan folklore are benevolent guardians of hidden treasures and water sources. They symbolise power, good fortune and the natural elements. Masks like this are used in ceremonial dances and as protective decorations to ward off negativity and attract prosperity.

Each dragon mask is carved in Nepal by skilled craftspeople who specialise in ritual masks. They use traditional tools and sustainably harvested wood, then hand paint the designs in bold pigments. Working under Fair Trade agreements ensures that the artisans are fairly rewarded for their artistry.
