Description

Bhutas were used for worship of supernatural beings or divinised ancestral spirits in the coastal area of Karnataka and Kerala. There are around 350 Bhutas or ‘spirits’ which are broadly divided into heroes of the past who met untimely ends, animals, the elements, and some whose origins are not known.
This rare collectible of a Bhuta lady in wood is painted in bright colours. There is minor loss of colour in certain parts due to passage of time, but the piece is otherwise in good condition.
