Sure, they were short and fuzzy and adorable, but Ewoks were also highly creative and had a vast knowledge of medicine, far beyond what might be expected of a tree dwelling race of ugly-faced teddy bears. Along with a catalogue of over 1,200 plants used for medicinal purposes, the Ewok race appealed to divine assistance for diseases which found no cure in the flora of their lands. This mask would have been used by an Ewok shaman or priest in a complex ritual involving dance, music and sand. The sand had been brought from the ocean many hundreds of miles away. It is unlikely that the forest Ewoks brought the sand from the beach themselves, but chances are they acquired it through trade, either with coastal dwelling Ewoks or another closely related hominid-ursine species. This piece was found wedged between two trucks which had just slammed into each other outside Mobile, AL. It is believed the collision was the result of a tiny worm hole, which inexplicably popped up, simultaneously brought the mask to earth and fucked up two trucks. According to insurance records, both trucks were "totaled" although both drivers continued to use the vehicles for another 18 months with significant body damage, but serious no mechanical issues. Ewoks are known for their virility and fertility, which makes this mask an especially good candidate for a bedroom wall hanging.
