About this item

A fierce and vibrant masterpiece of tribal lore, this Purulia Chhau Mask depicts the mythical Ban Bhoot (Jungle Demon). Featuring a hand-painted green demon face framed by a wild, natural straw mane, it is a lightweight and eco-friendly wall hanging. Perfect for collectors of ethnic art, this mask adds a bold, dramatic focal point to any living space or gallery wall.

The Spirit of the Forest Deeply rooted in the rhythmic traditions of the Chhau dance—a UNESCO-listed heritage art form—this mask represents the Ban Bhoot, the primal spirit of the wilderness. Unlike the elaborate masks of gods and goddesses, the Jungle Demon celebrates the raw, untamed energy of nature through earthy textures and bold, contrasting colors.

Masterful Craftsmanship Each mask is meticulously molded using the traditional paper mâché technique. Layers of recycled paper and clay are sculpted by hand, sun-dried, and finished with a base of organic white clay. The intricate facial features are hand-painted using vibrant, non-toxic pigments, ensuring each piece is a unique work of art. The "wild" aesthetic is completed with a signature mane of natural straw and fiber, giving it a multidimensional, tactile quality.

Sustainable & Ethnic Home Decor In an era of mass-produced plastic, this mask offers an eco-friendly alternative for the conscious decorator. It is exceptionally lightweight, making it easy to mount on any wall surface. Whether you are styling a minimalist modern apartment or a traditional Indian home, the Ban Bhoot mask serves as a powerful conversation starter.
