Lakhe Clay Mask

Celebrate the wild spirit of the Lakhe—Nepal’s masked demon dancer—with this expressive handmade clay mask. The Lakhe is both feared and revered, often seen in traditional festivals where he chases away evil spirits and brings protection to the community.

Crafted near Kathmandu by Mr. Asta Bahadur Prajapati, who has practised this fading artform for over five decades, the mask is mounted on a traditional lokta paper card with details about its meaning and origin. The fiery expression and stylised features reflect the theatrical power of the Lakhe in performance and lore.

This bold, symbolic piece is perfect for wall display, altars, or as a cultural conversation starter. Fair Trade, handmade, and full of spirit.
