Source: Tibetan Sacred Dance by Ellen PearlmanI really love these costumes and customs as well from Tibetan Buddhism. Actually the religion is a fusion of the shamanistic Bon and Buddhism that was later introduced and adapted in this way.
I wanted to base my preproduction pitch project on the unique appearance of these masks. . .
also interesting is that the Mongolions who also practice Tibetan Buddhism have similar masks for their prayer dances (tsam). One could also look to Bhutan for their versions of the cham masks.
