Dragon Mask – History and Legend
Based on the novel The Mask of dragons, the Dragon Mask is a unique costume from the Dragon Variety. Typically worn by the dragon-riders of ancient China, these masks were crafted in the image of dragons to protect their kingdom and serve as the most trusted symbol of protection. The mask itself represents the dragon and represents a powerful, mythical force of protection and courage. Typically seen in bronze, gold or silver, the mask can be crafted in a variety of sizes, with features ranging from wide pointed horns to long snout. Each person wearing a dragon mask brings not only the tradition of dragons into his or her daily life, but also brings the history and legend of the mask with him.
The dragon has been a major part of Chinese culture and tradition since the early days of Chinese civilization. As legend has it, the mask of a dragon was created by a king who was being threatened by a wild, destructive beast. With the blessing and the aid of deities, the king fashioned a magical mask that could drive away the beast and allow him to rule over his land. Legend has it that the mask was so useful that even dragons who misbehave will be bound by its magic.
