This fierce looking Vampire Mask was carved from a piece of Fine Grained Nephrite Jade gemstone more than 2000 years. It features a vicious vampire showing its power with its mouth widely open. Its brow is flaming and it has so particularly special linking brows with a knot( Pagua) in the center. In the past, Chinese people believed that the vampire mask could help warding off baneful influences and evil spirits for its wearer. So they wore this type of face mask during the ritual ceremony and did a special dance to herd of all of bloody sprits around them.
