demon masks
Devilish face coverings
Demon masks are masks depicting demons, devils, or other malevolent supernatural beings.
They appear in religious ceremonies, theatrical traditions, and folk festivals across many cultures—Japanese Noh drama, Balinese dance, Mexican Day of the Dead celebrations.
Outside ritual contexts, demon masks serve as Halloween costumes or decorative objects: The shop sold demon masks alongside witch hats and fake cobwebs.
