The history of Masks in Sri Lanka goes back centuries. It is an old tradition and the art of the mask carving continues through generations from father to son.
In Sri Lanka’s good old days, people worshipped trees, stones, the Sun, the Moon, and many other mythical things leading to strong beliefs in spiritual powers.
In earlier days in Sri Lanka, people believed that there were benevolent and malevolent demons who either gave protection or caused illnesses. Different types of masks with different shapes and sizes were created symbolizing mythical spirits that they believed in. They thought that ritualistic performances, wearing these masks and dancing according to different beats of the drums and music, gave them healing powers.
Today these skilled artisans, their families, and their skills are rapidly disappearing from society and these masks became artistic decorative items.
With their colorful facades, odd shapes, and intriguing histories, traditional Sri Lankan masks are commonly found to be adorning the walls of local houses. These masks have grotesque and unique features that make them even more interesting. Most masks feature gaping, misshapen mouths as well as sinister, bulging eyes and bright, vivid colors.
These masks make excellent souvenirs and gifts as well as contribute to decoration in suitable places in houses, artistic glories etc.. . This is also perfect for those who are interested in collecting masks depicting cultures & civilizations of different countries.
