The tradition of wearing these masks is very old, and has its roots in the animist tribes of the region, who worshipped the spirits of nature and the guardians of their mountains. The shamans of these tribes wore these masks during the rites they performed to protect their villages, heal illnesses, carry out exorcisms, and so on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThese masks were given very important social roles in the life of these communities, as they could also be used during theatrical performances and ceremonies dedicated to their ancestors. The Hindu and Buddhist cultures, which became predominant in the surrounding regions, gradually replaced the myths of these shamanic cults. But some spirits and demons of these tribes were adopted by the Buddhist tradition, and a few of them even became wrathful yet protective deities in Buddhist doctrine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e---------------\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDimensions: H 32.5cm x W 23.5cm x D 7cm\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMaterial(s):\u003cspan\u003e Solid wood\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"xaHrp\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eOrigin: India\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"xaHrp\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e---------------\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Orpaï Studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42965786722472,"sku":"180922","price":102.85,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/3285\/6232\/products\/IMG_3145-bOT0hxGUf-transformed.png?v=1674211990","url":"https:\/\/orpai-studio.com\/en-be\/products\/nakab-solid-wood-himalayan-mask-no-4","provider":"Orpaï Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
