Srilankan Lokadipathi Mask
The masked dances of Sri Lanka have their origins in ancient shamanic rituals. Over time, they evolved into two forms: Yakun Natima, a healing dance, and Kolam Natima, a storytelling dance drama featuring diverse masked characters.

The mask depicted here, Lokadipathi, represents one of the demons who served the legendary king Ravana. This mask is used in Kolam Natima performances, which typically begin with ritual offerings to gods and the Buddha, followed by comedic sketches and the main narrative.
Aonglamla- A character from Ao Naga Folklore, character design and sculpt
Aonglamla, a mysterious and elusive spirit from Ao Naga folklore, is a diminutive figure often associated with the jungle. Sightings of her are considered highly ominous, often leading to illness or even death. Despite her ominous nature, Aonglamla is not inherently evil. She is more detached from the human realm, existing in a state of timeless existence. Her ability to traverse time makes her simultaneously alive and dead.
