Catalogue Note
These two finely wrought door fittings represent the renowned Tibetan mastery of damascene ironwork, a skill traditionally associated with the specialist workshops at Derge in the Kham region of eastern Tibet. The projecting domed bosses depict the silvered faces of wrathful guardian deities, with bulging eyes outlined in gold, flared nostrils, wide open mouths showing silvered teeth and fangs, red copper lips, and with the menacing curled tips of the tongues, flaming eyebrows and mustache, and ears all overlaid in gold. The faces are framed by golden rings of fire emanating from the mouths of silver white skulls, with red copper severed heads at the cardinal points. Each boss would have been attached to adjacent temple doors by means of a sturdy iron pin through the hole below the lower lip, and another pin hinged to a ring pull and passing through the channel in the forehead.

CATALOGUE NOTE
Masks made of painted textile and metal are known as part of effigy bundles, but examples in ceramic are rare. This Moche mask is distinctive for the perforated features, suggesting a ceremonial use. The aged, wrinkled figure may represent a specific deity within the narrative of Moche mythology; for a similar example, see Bird, Art and Life in Old Peru (1962:Fig. 55).
