Note: Refers to coverings for all or part of the face, usually with openings for the eyes and sometimes the mouth. They are worn to hide or alter the identity of the wearer or for protection. Masks as cultural objects have been used throughout the world in all periods since the Stone Age. Masks are extremely varied in appearance, function, and fundamental meaning. They may be associated with ceremonies that have religious and social significance or are concerned with funerary customs, fertility rites, or curing sickness. They may be used on festive occasions or to portray characters in a dramatic performance and in re-enactments of mythological events. They may be used for warfare and as protective devices in certain sports. They are also employed as architectural ornaments.

| German ..... Bezieht sich auf eine Bedeckung für das gesamte oder einen Teil des Gesichts, in der Regel mit Öffnungen für die Augen und manchmal für den Mund. Sie wird getragen, um die Identität des Trägers zu verstecken, zu verändern oder auch als Schutz. Die Maske wird in allen Epochen seit der Steinzeit als kulturelles Objekt auf der ganzen Welt verwendet. Masken unterscheiden sich sehr in Aussehen, Funktion und ihrer grundlegenden Bedeutung. Sie können mit religiösen oder sozialen Zeremonien verbunden werden oder mit Bestattungssitten, Fruchtbarkeitsriten oder Heilung von Krankheiten in Verbindung gebracht werden. Sie können bei festlichen Anlässen verwendet werden oder um einen Charakter in einer dramatischen Vorstellung und in Nachstellungen von mythischen Ereignisse darzustellen. Sie können für die Kriegsführung und als Schutz bei bestimmten Sportarten verwendet werden. Sie werden auch als architektonisches Ornament eingesetzt. |
