ABSTRACT
In Tongyeong Ogwangdae, the characters use many ornaments and these ornaments represent different meanings. The following results were observed from the analysis that was carried out, to find the symbolic meanings of ornaments and props, and they- were used in Tongyeong Ogwangdae. The ornaments and props used in the traditional mask play are used to effectively represent the roles, characters, situations, and certain parts of body. They put each character in a psychological mood that enables him or her to perform his or her role more realistically. This in turn moves the audience. The ornaments and the props that were used in Tongyeong Ogwangdae help the audience to understand the characters and the hidden meaning of the play. These ornaments and props can be classified into three categories namely, one representing the character’s social status, one representing the role of the character, and one indicating the flow of the play.
