Masks are found world-wide in connection with seasonal festivals, rites of passage, and curative ceremonies. A comparison of Greek to Eastern and especially Indian models follows, this book concludes with an examination of the interpretation of Hindu ideas in Bali that demonstrates the importance of ambivalence in mask iconography.
