In the Himalayan region of Nepal and Tibet the tradition of wearing masks descends from animistic tribes who worshiped the spirit guardians of the mountains. Shamans - the intermediators between the human and spirit worlds - wore masks like these during rituals meant to protect their villages, heal disease or exorcise evil. Animist masks were also used during theatrical representations and ceremonies dedicated to ancestors.
