Leather Mask – Goddess Durga with Crown (Wall Décor)

This handcrafted **leather mask** depicts the radiant face of **Goddess Durga**, rendered in bright yellow with expressive eyes, gentle smile, and a gem-like crown. The artisan has worked on treated goat hide, stretching and curing it to form a stable surface, before painting with natural dyes and mineral pigments. The crown is richly detailed with concentric patterns of red, green, and white dots; the face glows with smooth yellow, the bindi and nose ring accentuating divinity. Such masks originate in Odisha’s traditional craft, often used in ritual, dance, or as sacred wall décor. Hung on a wall, it functions as both devotional icon and folk art centerpiece.
