Mayura Raksha, The Peacock Devil


Mayura Raksha, The Peacock Devil




Paper quilling is an art work using paper strips rolled in to shapes. I think most people know about it. With  this creation I thought of doing something  traditional to my country Sri Lanka. 

Peacock Devil  Mask Wall Hanger 
This can be seeing as a wood-carved mask in Sri Lanka. By combining paper quilling & Peacock Devil design I created this wall hanger.

This is known as Mayura Raksha Mask by Sri Lankans. There are lot of masks including this used in traditional dancing’s such as Sokari, Kolam etc. also hanged on main doors of houses. Ancient people says by hanging these kinds of masks will bring many effects to householders.
By Hanging Peacock Devil Mask it is said  peace and harmony.
