Male Face Mask (Zauli)

<p>Forming a dance trio with masks known as <em>gu</em> and <em>zamble</em> (also on display in this case), <em>zauli</em>—or, “the Ugly”—is sometimes identified as <em>zamble’s</em> elder brother or father, and functions as his handsome counterpart. <em>Zauli</em> is everything that <em>zamble</em> is not: dirty, disorderly, brusque, rude, greedy, and somewhat funny. The mask is both admired and feared for its sudden mood swings and supernatural power. Even though Guro masks are now held primarily for entertainment, they were originally developed to divert evil.</p>
