Tibet Dancing Mask




Rora-Reema is the ritual dance of the hunters performed before Tibetan operas. These characters are called moqua or hunters, who represent the Diju Washafani. At the end of the dance everyone tosses handfuls of seeds into the air to appease the gods and pray for the peace and prosperity of all. Sometimes called a Lhamo, Ngompa, or wedding mask. This particular mask is illustrated in the book, "Masks from Around the World."


Tibetan mask (Ba in Tibetan language) is a sort of handicraft deriving from religious art and Tibetan opera. The masks are well-known for their unique style, diversity of shapes, and characteristically simple and primeval beauty. There are 3 types of Tibetan mask - religious mask, Tibetan opera mask, and folk dance mask.
