Masks: Faces of Culture

I highly recommend the book Masks: Faces of Culture. It is filled with oodles of large colored pictures and information about the many masks of the world throughout history. It is informative about the many different reasons why masks are created by through cultures. The pictures reveal all the varieties of the materials used in making masks. I use this book every time I teach a mask making class.
