A
khon mask
of
Asuraphat,
a monkey
character
from the
Ramakien.
He
is the son of
Hanuman
(fig.)
with the ogress
Benyagai
(fig.),
and he is depicted
with a
white complexion. His face is that of a monkey, but his
head and body are that of a
yak, i.e.
an
ogre. Hence he has a white face akin to his father and
the black curly hair of his mother.
