Ippimala Muthappan Bamboo Mask

Standing at an impressive 107 cm, this hand-carved bamboo mask channels the fierce, benevolent spirit of Muthappan — a folk deity revered across Kerala's Malabar coast for protection and grace. Shaped and painted entirely by tribal artisans using earth-friendly pigments, each piece is a one-of-a-kind testament to generations of living craft. Mount it above a wooden console in your Kochi heritage home or let it anchor a contemporary entryway in Bangalore — wherever it hangs, it transforms a wall into a storytelling surface steeped in sacred folklore.
