| "Hudoq" masks are danced in connection with the planting of rice. The masks are believed to embody spirits that ensure the growth of rice. They also help protect the village from harm and it's occupants from illness. The masks come in many shapes with a pig or dragon/hornbill image being among the most popular. | ||
