This wrathful deity table piece was once probably a mask used in the Tibetan Buddhist Cham Dance. In Vajrayana Buddhism, cham masks serve as symbolic and liturgical artifacts. These masks represent wrathful, protecting deities, instilling fear and horror in the hearts of evil forces. These deities are also thought to eliminate impediments in the way of enlightenment. Therefore, the masks are worn to give the devotees peace and tranquility and release them from the illusions of the material world. This mask made of brass is heavy and also carries cultural values.
