Masks and Masking

Faces of Tradition and Belief Worldwide

Beschreibung

For at least 20,000 years, masking has been a mark of cultural evolution and an indication of magical-religious sophistication in society. Placing the mask in the broader context of the evolution of humanity, this book argues that the mask itself should not be assessed in the service of any single function.
