masks that depict fierce, wide-eyed expressions with
strong facial features, mustaches, and beards. The

wear maroon or red tunics with gold
or silver trimmings. The tunics also
feature embroidery and
embellishments, making them more
beautiful than regular festival

shin guards, to complete the look. These pieces
are often made of metal, leather, and other
materials. They’re also frequently adorned with
ornate patterns or designs.
