Handmade (Mukhauta) Chhau Mask - Bengal Tribal Couple

An exquisite expression of Bengal’s living heritage, this handcrafted Chhau mask is meticulously created by master artisans of the Sutradhār community in West Bengal. Traditionally used in the iconic Chhau dance, each mask represents powerful mythological characters drawn from the Ramayana, Mahabharata, and Shakti traditions.

Available in distinctive artistic interpretations such as Tribal Bengali Couple, Cultural Dance Mask, and Deity forms including Buddha, Durga, Ganesh, Krishna and other epic figures, each design carries its own narrative depth and symbolic significance.

Formed using layers of hand-pressed paper and clay, sun-dried and hand-painted with intricate ornamentation, every mask is a unique artefact rich in expression, symbolism, and craftsmanship. Subtle variations in detailing and colour reflect the authenticity of true handmade artistry.

Originally conceived for ritual performance, this mask now transcends its traditional role to become a collectible art object for refined interiors. Whether displayed as a singular statement piece or curated as part of an art collection, it adds cultural gravitas and dramatic presence to contemporary spaces.

A timeless statement piece, ideal for art collectors, cultural patrons, and connoisseurs who value authenticity, heritage, and hand-crafted luxury.
