What do you see? Is it a whole person? Is it a man or a woman? Are the woman\u2019s features realistic? Observe her neck. Is it perhaps too long, much longer than a real neck? Why did the artist do that? Oftentimes, artists want to emphasize a specific feature, either because they find it beautiful or funny or unusual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same was the case with masks.
