Where to buy authentic traditional wooden masks in Sri Lanka.

To buy authentic, high quality traditional wooden masks, avoid the generic tourist souvenir stalls. Instead, visit the Laksala government emporium in Colombo or Kandy, which guarantees genuine artisan craftsmanship. If you are travelling south, the coastal town of Ambalangoda is famous as the historical center of mask carving, where you can buy directly from the master carvers.
