Abstract

Mask is one of the objects that date back to ancient times. Masks can have a magical or religious function. They may appear in "Tasharof" ritual or as makeup in a theatrical form or used to change a person's appearance in a ritual ceremony. The use of masks as a cover is seen in the native and old cultures of different countries. Considering the diversity and spread of masks all over the world, masks can be considered a cultural message that is mixed with local and regional art. In this article, it is concluded that mask in Iran represents the aspects of display and display, and in art, it represents an artistic tool by which the artist dissolves into another character.
