EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Dance-mask of Hanuman, the revered Monkey-god hero from the epic Ramayana, originating in Cambodia during the 20th century. The mask's intricate craftsmanship and vibrant colors make it an exquisite piece of Asian religious art. The animalistic features of this mask are truly remarkable; its expressive face captures both the fierce and heroic nature associated with Hanuman. Made entirely of metal, every detail is meticulously crafted, from the open mouth revealing sharp teeth to the majestic helmet adorning its head. In Cambodian literature and mythology, Hanuman symbolizes courage, strength, and unwavering devotion. This dance mask embodies these qualities as it represents a deity who plays a significant role in Hinduism. The gold-colored dress further enhances its divine aura while reflecting light to create an ethereal effect. Its presence evokes a sense of reverence for this powerful monkey god. As we delve into the rich cultural heritage depicted by this photograph, we are transported to Cambodia - a country known for its deep-rooted religious traditions and artistic excellence. This image serves as a testament to centuries-old beliefs that continue to shape contemporary Cambodian society. Captured by CM Dixon or Mike Dixon (not specified), this stunning portrayal invites us into an enchanting world where mythological heroes come alive through dance masks like these – preserving ancient tales for generations to come.
