Masks are found world-wide in connection with seasonal festivals,
rites of passage, and curative ceremonies. They provide a means of
investigating the paradoxical problems that appearances pose in the
experience of transitional states. In this far-reaching work, A.
David Napier studies mask iconography and the role played by masks
in the realization of change. The masks of preclassical Greecein
particular those of the Satyr and the Gorgonprovide his starting
point. A comparison of Greek to Eastern and especially Indian
models follows, and the book concludes with an examination of the
interpretation of Hindu ideas in Bali that demonstrates the
importance of ambivalence in mask iconography.
