1007 Mahakala Wooden Mask  14 " X 11"

This wooden mask is a carving of Mahakala, the chief Dharmapla that is Protector of the buddhists teachings. He protects the practitioners from the deception and from distractions. He represents the energies of attraction, magnetism and repulsion.  His wrathful expression symbolizes the use of  energy to cut through powerful obstacles.  His third eye expresses the wisdom of Omniscience. The five skulls signify victory over the five emotional obscurations.

As he is the defender of law, he is always provided a good position at the entrance to Buddhist Shrines.
