My sister is a world traveler and garden designer. In her travels she has collected photographs of masks from other cultures and the ones shown here range in age from 400 AD to the present. These masks were behind a glass case; the photographs were taken Rob Rensing (www.sunflowerinn.ca). Because masks were traditionally used by shamans in the context of community, and often for purposes of healing and restoration of balance, you may notice many similarities in style from throughout the world and across time.
