Along the misty coasts of Kerala, tales speak of a forgotten Theyyam spirit once a fierce guardian, now a restless echo. In one village, a boy uncovers an old Theyyam mask buried beneath a banyan tree. When worn, it awakens the spirit half-god, half-dancer, who returns each night, performing rituals to summon long-lost rains.This sculpt captures the spirit mid-dance—frozen in time, adorned with fire and myth, a guardian of stories that refuse to be forgotten
