Some masks are not where this person claims they are from. Not very accurate.

@prepressexpression , my information are from a specialized site... so.... if the masks are not so accurate is not my guilt... I am not a specialist in this domain...

0:30 I don't think so that wuld be an African mask. It's musch more a Japanese mask.

Anyway, great masks! :D

@shantiliu I love your vid the reason why is clear (smile) and my walls at home hangs full of masks....TNX!

if you search up an image of the way Medusa originally looked on Greek shields, she is similar to the Bali style...with large tusks in her mouth.

@Contextcatcher I think I am intelligent enough to understand the subtlety of that quote :))

[Contextcatcher]

@shantiliu Quote of Canetti is more subtle when you read it in context of his original German language. It's part of what he called the proces of "verwandlung" (transformation: sound, image). His mask 'formule' is self referential. Act of understanding translates information in a chanced form. "Verwandlung" has in German also associations with: identification ("verwandt"), chanced scene. "Wand' is wall. Words can shape distinctions, yet translations can also dissolve distances like bridges. Y=X.

@Contextcatcher I love masks too, but... I have no all my walls with masks even I wish too :))

@Contextcatcher "Every complete unknown language is a kind of acoustic mask; as soon one learns it, it becomes a face, understandable and soon familiar" - exceptional! Elias Canetti has right!
