Fri frakt för medlemmar vid köp för minst 249 kr.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.
