Masks

With Halloween coming up, I thought it would be appropriate and interesting to look at a variety of masks.  Masks have been a part of many cultures throughout history and are not only used to conceal one's identity, but also for religious and ritualistic purposes, to entertain, to frighten and intimidate, or simply to protect one's face...

Not masks, but mask-like:









Happy Halloween!
