content: Two carved, painted wooden eyes attached with string through holes to the hair side of a semi-circular piece of animal hide. Holes in the animal hide allow the wearer to look through the eyes. According to the donor, "Collected during January, 1983 in Hikkaduwa from W.P. Ebert, the formost collector in Sri Lanka. Little is know of the specific purpose, but it is W.P.'s guess that it could be used with the "mask" of Maru Sanni (slide #33 on my original documentation of the Sri Lankan collection.) The eye-pieces themselves are quite old, 75-100; the backing very new."
