"Sanni" masks are traditional wooden masks from Sri Lanka, used in ritualistic performances to ward off evil spirits and diseases. Intricately carved, they depict various demonic figures and spirits.
These masks play a significant role in the country's cultural heritage, symbolizing the battle between good and evil in traditional dance forms.
