Description

The wall mask 'Yama Nandub' is a decorative item created in Mongolia in the 1980s–1990s. The mask is made of plaster and covered with painting, which gives it an expressive look. The size of the item is 104 x 153 x 45 mm, making it compact and suitable for wall placement.

The name 'Yama Nandub' indicates a connection to Buddhist mythology, where Yama is the lord of hell, and Nandub may be an epithet or the name of a deity. Such masks were often used for ritual purposes or as decorative elements in Buddhist temples and homes.

Collectors should pay attention to the quality of the painting and the preservation of the plaster base. The item dates from the late socialist period in Mongolia, when traditional crafts were experiencing a revival. The condition of the mask is not specified, but such items may show signs of age, which adds to their historical value.

This piece will be of interest to collectors of Eastern artifacts, Buddhist attributes, or decorative sculpture.
