Okkara Sanniya - Height 15cm

The Okkara Sanniya Mask is a striking representation from Sri Lanka’s traditional Sanni Yakuma ritual, symbolizing Nausea or Disgust illness. The exaggerated bulging eyes reflect restlessness and fear, while the wide-open red mouth suggests vomiting and unease. Bold red and black strokes across the face emphasize agitation and sickness, with the elongated nose and markings enhancing its dramatic effect. Okkara Sanniya Mask is used for its purpose of healing and blessing through a performance in which 18 kinds of maladies, inflicted by devils, are purged from the human body.
