MaskEh10

Mask possibly depicting Gulma Sanniya (representing parasitic worms, lack of apetite, or swelling of the abdomen) that has been painted orange-pink with black hair and eyebrows. On the high forehead there are three horizontal grooved lines in the centre. The eyes are large, well defined and round, and are thinly outlined in black. The nose is wide and protruding with large nostrils, and the mask also has a wide open mouth with downturned corners and showing two rows of teeth. Under each eye is a crescent-shaped slit. A faded blue cloth strap, perhaps a shoestring (?) that is tied through holes on either side of the mask. A label adhered to the reverse has a typed inscription which says, "(Possibly) GULMA SANNI: parasitic worms" and has "25" written beside the typed text.
