These mythical creature-inspired accessories were believed to enhance one's natural beauty during ceremonial rituals. The artist behind this remarkable photograph is Fox Photos, who perfectly captures the essence of this unique tradition. The attention to detail in each mask and visor is truly mesmerizing, showcasing the intricate craftsmanship of the local artisans.
