Ox mask

The ox mask is an important element in Bhutanese and Tibetan Buddhist culture, particularly in Cham dances and other ritualistic performances. The ox is often depicted as a companion or vehicle of the wrathful deities like Yama, the Lord of Death. In the context of these performances, the ox mask symbolizes strength, patience, and the burdens of life, often playing a key role in dances that deal with themes of death, judgment, and the afterlife.
