The Protruding-Eye Sleep Mask is a cultural and creative product developed by the Sanxingdui Museum. Its design was inspired by one of the most iconic artifacts unearthed at the Sanxingdui site—the Bronze Mask with Protruding Eyes. Faithfully recreating the artifact's projecting eyes and widely flared ears, the sleep mask incorporates the distinctive aesthetics of ancient Shu culture into an everyday sleep accessory. Besides blocking light and promoting sleep, it is also an imaginative product that brings history and culture into the present. Wearing it offers a glimpse into the boundless imagination of the people of ancient Shu.

Highlights

The sleep mask features a distinctive design, a soft and skin-friendly feel, and excellent light-blocking performance, making it ideal for lunchtime naps or a quick rest while traveling. Reimagining the protruding-eye motif as a sleep mask playfully evokes the ideas of concealing one's brilliance while quietly building strength and closing one's eyes to rest. Its oversized ears, meanwhile, symbolize keen sight and hearing and the ability to hear in every direction.

Extraordinary eyes watch over extraordinary sleep.
