Celebrate the rich cultural legacy of Assam with the Putna Mukha, a traditional handcrafted mask from Majuli representing the demoness Putana from Hindu mythology. Deeply rooted in the 500-year-old Mukha Shilpa tradition initiated by Srimanta Sankardeva, these masks are an integral part of Bhaona performances held in the Sattras of Majuli, reflecting the spiritual and artistic heritage of neo-Vaishnavite culture.
Expertly crafted by local artisans using eco-friendly materials such as bamboo, clay, cow dung, and cloth, each mask is hand-shaped, hand-decorated, and carefully handpainted to preserve its traditional authenticity. The bold expressions, intricate detailing, and natural fibers enhance its dramatic visual appeal, making it a striking piece of cultural wall décor and a valuable collectible.
This handcrafted folk art mask is not just a decorative item but a representation of living heritage. Slight variations in facial expression, color, and finish are natural and highlight the uniqueness of each handmade piece.
Ideal for art collectors, cultural enthusiasts, galleries, and ethnic home décor, the Putna Mukha adds a powerful and traditional aesthetic inspired by Assamese mythology and theatre arts.
