1)  Masks served several important functions in Ancient Greek theatre: their exaggerated expressions helped define the characters the actors were playing; they allowed actors to play multiple roles (or genders); and, by projecting sound like a small megaphone, they helped audience members in distant seats see.


2)  When the mask is donned, the user transforms into the spirit or tumbuwan the mask depicts. Masks are only worn or made by men. Women are not allowed to see or even touch masks unless they are part of a ceremony. However, masks are not made in every part of Papua New Guinea.


3)  Masks' initial purpose in Venice was both utilitarian and aspirational: a person wearing one could be anybody they wanted and do whatever they wanted. For a day, a poor man could be a nobleman. A woman can impersonate a guy or vice versa.


4)  Masks should be used as part of a complete plan of actions to prevent COVID-19 transmission and save lives; wearing a mask alone will not provide enough protection against COVID-19.


5)  To inspire dread in the opponent, a battle mask will have a wicked look or horribly bizarre features. Ancient Greeks and Romans, as well as Chinese warriors, utilised battle shields with monstrous masks (such as Gorgon masks) or fastened frightful masks to their armour.


6)  Tengu masks are worn at Noh performances and several Shinto festivals. Tengu are also commonly used as decorations since they are supposed to ward off evil spirits and provide good fortune.


7)  Masks are used in rituals and ceremonies for a variety of reasons, including assuring a successful harvest, meeting tribe needs during times of peace or war, and conveying spiritual presences in initiation rituals and funeral ceremonies. Some masks depict the spirits of ancestors who have passed away.


8)  The China Peking Opera Festival is a national-level art festival that features various performances of classic Peking Opera works as well as renowned actors and actresses.


9)  Masks were largely employed in ancient Egypt for two purposes: death masks and ceremonial masks. The ancient Egyptians thought that it was critical to preserve a deceased person's body because the soul needs a place to call home after death. Tutankhamen's mask is one of the most well-known funeral masks.


10) Topeng (Indonesian for "mask") is a dramatic type of Indonesian dance in which one or more mask-wearing, ornately dressed performers, accompanied by gamelan or other traditional music instruments, recreate classic narratives about fabled monarchs, heroes, and myths.
