Description: The Mask Holder presents a face-like form with hollowed-out openings that resemble both eyes and a mouth, merging functionality with symbolism. Two small holders at the base accommodate tea lights, illuminating the sculptural visage with a warm, flickering glow. Its textured papier-mâché surface enhances the primitive yet poetic aura of the piece, suggesting ritual, remembrance, and quiet contemplation.
