Chinese exorcising masks were used in Chinese exorcising rituals. It was believed that all pain, diseases and suffering were caused by demons. The masks were made to appear as grotesque as possible to scare away the evil spirits. Exorcising rituals were performed once a month but due to scientific discoveries exorcism is used as a means of entertainment. Most masks have a third eye to symbolise wisdom and the five skulls represent the mask's victory over the five emotions. hope this has helped!! btw maddy rules!!!
