Choijin Lama Monastery: Mask of Hayagriva
Paper mache
紙製馬頭觀音菩薩面具
蒙古
傳此羌姆舞面具出自蒙古東戈壁省（Dornogovi）將軍寺（Janjin Choir Monastery）。馬頭觀音，為八大明王之一，即密教胎藏界三部明王中，蓮華部之忿怒持明王。以觀音為自性身，現大忿怒形，置馬頭於頂，為觀自在菩薩變化身之一。藏傳佛教羌姆舞中常見戴此面具的舞者，代表降伏魔障、摧毀一切覺悟成道的障礙。
面具為紙胎彩色鍍金，赤臉，紅色象徵蓮華部。三目圓凸，眉毛呈螺旋紋，張口，獠牙外露。頭戴骷髏冠，上有一綠色馬頭，綠色代表自在和慈悲方便。紅髮呈火焰形往上直衝，現忿怒形象。
