Mask Of Truth
A mask is an object normally worn on the face, typically for protection, disguise, performance, or entertainment, and often employed for rituals and rites. Masks have been used since antiquity for both ceremony, ceremonial and pragmatism, practical purposes, as well as in the performing arts and for entertainment. They are usually worn on the face, although they may also be positioned for effect elsewhere on the wearer's body.

This word is of uncertain origin, perhaps from Arabic language, Arabic ''maskharah'' مَسْخَرَۃٌ "buffoon", fro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
