It appears on mass-produced tourist objects, generic decorative masks with no documented community origin, and digital prints of mask images sold as collectables. It also appears on masks made by named artisans from living performance communities in West Bengal, Kerala, and Telangana, whose family lineages within their specific traditions span multiple generations and whose production process follows iconographic conventions developed through centuries of collective community practice. These two uses of the same word describe categorically different objects. The buyer who cannot distinguish between them will, with statistical probability, purchase the former while paying for the latter. This post builds the case for authentic Indian folk masks as a specific and verifiable standard, not a marketing label, and gives buyers the framework to verify that standard before completing any purchase.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\" bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":433,\"w\":401,\"h\":58,\"abs_x\":589,\"abs_y\":637}'\u003e\u003cspan bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":433,\"w\":346,\"h\":57,\"abs_x\":589,\"abs_y\":637}'\u003eWhat Authentic Means: A Five-Part Standard\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":502,\"w\":401,\"h\":58,\"abs_x\":589,\"abs_y\":706}'\u003e\u003cspan bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":502,\"w\":399,\"h\":57,\"abs_x\":589,\"abs_y\":706}'\u003eAn authentic Indian folk mask satisfies five conditions simultaneously.
