A mohra or mask of a village female deity, perhaps Parvati, features a third eye on her forehead. She wears a crown with three projections on front, two circular pellets with connective incised lines on either side of the forehead, ear-rings with long pendants, symbolic three stripes below the neck and a necklace. Her eyes are shown as wide, nose as large and mouth is left open.
