Nepal is a country at the crossroads between India and Tibet and thus the forms of worship found there contain elements of Indian Vedic and Tantric Hinduism as well as Tibetan Buddhism and Tibetan Bon (animism). The diminutive Nepalese "masks" shown here are small papier mache hangings meant to be placed on walls, especially above or beside doors and windows, to invoke the aid of popular Hindu deities. In the style typical of Tibetan and Nepalese tantric hagiography, they are all wearing elaborate pointed crowns and displaying their open third eyes.

Michael Hamson Oceanic Art/Material Culture is a private gallery dealing in museum quality art primarily from New Guinea. With a Masters degree in African and Oceanic Art History and years of field experience in the most remote areas of New Guinea I buy and sell older, authentic art that has passed the test of time within the culture that produced and used the piece. From Utilitarian objects such as bowls, plates and drums to the more ceremonial and ritually used items as figures and masks I search for both the unusual and the classic--but always for the beautiful. It is when the local and Western aesthetic notions of quality, utility, clarity, power and elegance meet that one separates the art from the artifact. And it is these works of art that you will find within these pages.
