  desc: 1916.9.173 Name and identification of character A forest-dwelling hunter called Vädda (Sin.), or a demon causing infectious diseases, called Vädi Sanniya (Sin.)(cf. Preface). Context The mask can be used in two contexts: In Kolam and in the Sanni ritual.

Iconography The face is elongated and painted in bluish black. The mouth is angular in shape with lips painted in red. The nose is thin and pointed.
