A lunar mask is a decorative item often associated with the moon and its phases. These masks can be made from various materials, including clay, metal, or fabric, and are typically designed to represent the face of the moon. They are used in various cultural rituals, art, and celebrations, symbolizing the connection between humanity and the celestial body. In many cultures, lunar masks are linked to mythology and spirituality. For example, in Native American traditions, the moon is often personified and revered, leading to the creation of masks that honor lunar deities. Similarly, in African cultures, masks may be used in ceremonies to invoke the moon's influence on agriculture and fertility.
