Tun Kou or Chinese Gate Deity
Brief Introduction:
>
This exquisite and unique mask is carved out and painted by hand of folk artists without using any machine in China. This mask is the Tun Kou. It means in English "swallow mouth" = terminate all bad things. Its shape is generally designed as a tiger's head(fierce animal). Our people usually hang it on the door. Why do people hang it at the top of the door? Why should it make a tiger head? This is because in the ancients times, we believe the evil, ghosts which are most fearful. This invisible evil, which threatens the safety of the family, threatens the health and survival of the person. So, our people believed that the tiger was the most powerful and fierce in the world, tiger can swallow all the devils when they enter our house. We believe these masks are auspicious who can bring the fortune, lucky to us. The whole artwork show you the stateliness, verve. He can protect you from disaster, and show you a bright way.
