Sale Quantity: 1 Mask

> This exquisite and unique mask is carved out by hand of folk artists without using any machine in China. This mask is the World Creator(or call Pan Gu). He is the most powerful god among the various types of masks. Because he created this world and all evils are scared of him. The legend about him that before the supreme ancestors, the world (not just the earth), was just a big black ball of chaos (also translated to big black egg), with no order what so ever. Inside this chaos there was Pan Gu. He slept in this ball for 18,000 years, and woke one day. When awoken he felt unhappy with his surrounding, so he got an ax (many translations say Broad Ax) and with all his might crack the ball open. When the ball cracked, all the light (the good part of the ball) floated up, making the heavens. All the cold and dark stuff stayed below making the earth. Pan Gu was in the middle his feet touched earth but his head touching heaven (understand that earth and heaven are no bigger than a house right now). After earth and heaven where formed, they began to grow (about 15 spans a day, or 10 feet a day), and after another 18,000 years earth and heaven were formed. Pan Gu had grown with them and acted as a pillar standing 9 million li (3 million miles) between them so they could never join again.When Pan Gu died, his breath became the wind and clouds, his voice became the rolling thunder. One eye became the sun and one the moon. His body and limbs turned to five big mountains and his blood formed the roaring water. His veins became far-stretching roads and his muscles fertile land. The innumerable stars in the sky came from his hair and beard, and flowers and trees from his skin and the fine hairs on his body. His marrow turned to jade and pearls. His sweat flowed like the good rain and sweet dew that nurtured all things on earth. According to some versions of the Pan Gu legend, his tears flowed to make rivers and radiance of his eyes turned into thunder and lighting. When he was happy the sun shone, but when he was angry black clouds gathered in the sky. One version of the legend has it that the fleas and lice on his body became the ancestors of mankind. ^)^
