Dristhi Bommai or Dristhi Gombe dolls are apotropaics found in south India, prominently hung at construction sites, houses, residential buildings or trucks[1][2] to ward off evil. Similar to the Gorgoneion heads of Ancient Greece, the decorative wide-eyed, often red, yellow, or green[3] mustached masks can be seen in the southern states of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.[4]
