Summary
| Description |
English: The earthenware mask's A-line shape suggests it was modeled after a wooden helmet, which an exorcist would have worn while performing rituals to ward off evil spirits and misfortune.
A similar mask found at Yangguanxhai Village near Xi'an dates to round 3500 BCE. DNA testing identified some tomb occupants at the same site as Mongols, descendants of ancient Rong and Di people. |
