Mask
A
mask is an object normally worn on the
face, typically for protection,
disguise,
performance, or
entertainment. Masks have been used since antiquity for both
ceremonial and
practical purposes. They are usually worn on the face, although they may also be positioned for effect elsewhere on the wearer's body. In parts of
Australia, giant
totem masks cover the body, whilst Inuit women use finger masks during storytelling and dancing.
