This piece was originally used in spiritual practice, during ceremony, to ward off evil spirits from the village. After its creator passed, it was then intended to be hung over a bed, crib, or place of rest to protect those in a state of slumber. It is known that our spiritual energy is low when we are not aware of our conscious being. Thus when we sleep, negative forces may attempt to penetrate our spirit. This mask, with its mouth clearly open, has been used over the decades to protect those it has been set to watch over and fight and divest the negative influences that surround our spiritual orb while we sleep. The eyes, which symbolize strength, are open to remain ever watchful over you. As soon as this piece enters your home, will you then understand the comfort that surrounds it. Gombu acquired this many years ago from a temple that was destroyed when China sought to overthrow the Tibetan nation. However, the spirit within that temple has since remained within this piece. This specimen has been blessed by Gombu, to assure you that it brings with it no unwanted company or evil spiritual essences that may have been trapped inside. Gombu is an old Tibetan Shaman who is well versed in the ways of meditation, and acts as a guide to those who seek the path that leads towards enlightenment. Shamans have been credited with the ability to control the weather, divination, the interpretation of dreams, astral projection, and traveling to the upper and lower worlds. Shamanism is based on the premise that the visible world is pervaded by invisible forces or spirits that affect the lives of the living. This piece is ready to be brought into a new home to protect those inside from harm. This Old Hand-Carved Wooden Spirit Portal Mask is a very unique piece!
