Garuda Rising mask Paramesh Sarkar

Crafted by the master artist Paramesh Sarkar, this exquisite Kushmandi or Gomira mask is a powerful representation of Garuda, the divine vehicle of Lord Vishnu. A tangible piece of a vibrant tradition, this mask is central to a ritualistic, non-vocal dance form performed by local communities in West Bengal's Kushmandi region, where it is worn to summon benevolent forces.

The mask beautifully captures the essence of Garuda. The beak is meticulously carved, giving it a commanding presence, while the eyes are rendered in a serene, almost meditative state, suggesting a connection to a higher power. The intricate carvings on the forehead and headpiece add to the mask's regality, with detailed feather-like patterns that showcase the artist's masterful skill and deep reverence for the tradition. The natural, dark wood finish highlights the fine craftsmanship and adds to its authentic, rustic charm.

More than just an object of art, this mask holds deep cultural and spiritual significance. It is a piece of living history, a direct link to the Gomira Dance tradition of West Bengal. Acquiring this mask is not only a way to own a stunning piece of folk art, but also a way to support and preserve a rich, ancestral tradition. It is a perfect addition for any collector seeking an authentic and spiritually resonant piece, a reminder of the power of tradition and the elegance of Indian folk art.
