This cult mask has a totemistic connection to a culture of farming where plows are pulled by bulls and where cow milk is one of the main sources of proteins. The link with Hinduism is also easily established through Nandi, the mount of Shiva. Nandi, “the one who brings happiness” in Sanskrit, incarnates the interior strength brought by the control of violence. Its four legs represent truth, purity, compassion, and generosity. The act of touching its tail is meant to relieve people from any kind of impurity.

The bhuta (spirit) is invoked in a highly stylized version
of the ritual dance (bhuta kola) of the spirit impersonator during a theatrical production in which a world of supernatural beings is created by dancers adorned in colorful costumes including masks, such as the present lot, depicting various divine beings.

Literature comparison:
Compare a closely related bronze Bhuta cult mask, 50 cm high, exhibited by Frederic Rond, Bhuta: Masks & Ritual Objects of the Spirits, 15 June-31 October 2011, Paris, and illustrated on the cover of the exhibition catalogue.
