Prateep Rodpai has been handcrafting Khon masks for over 40 years.
Performers wear them in Khon, a traditional Thai dance that's been practiced for 600 years.
Khon is a Thai classical court masked dance whose history dates back hundreds of years. It employs many aspects of the arts: drama, dance, pantomime, and music. The costumes are elaborate, including decorated headdresses or crowns and full-head masks, which is the most distinctive characteristic of this performance.
