The symbolism of the Mask.

Sri Lankan Masks often tend to look surreal; bulging/huge eyes, wide grins, colourful headdresses and a mix of colours. The authentic masks and masking traditions of Sri Lanka are an extraordinary cultural phenomenon and a significant contribution Sri Lanka has made to the Asian cultural spectrum.

The colours of the masks would usually represent the colour of the demon which they believed it looks like. Their masks often had the same shape style; long, narrow and pointy. Facial expressions on the masks are quite bizarre; some would look quite intimidating whilst others look foolish
