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.

For at least 20,000 years, masking has been a mark of cultural evolution and an indication of magical-religious sophistication in society.

This book provides a comprehensive understanding of the mask as a powerful cultural phenomenon--a means by which human groupings attempted to communicate their dignity and sense of purpose, as well as establish a continuum between the natural and supernatural worlds. It addresses the distinctive environments within which masks flourished, and analyzes the mask as a manifestation of art, ethnology and anthropology.
