African masks are often worn on top of the head rather than in front of the face, and so don&#039;t always have holes where you might expect them. But there are usually attachment points for a costume of cloth or raffia that would cover the dancer.In this case, the mask may have been situated in a way that allowed the dance to see out through the hole in the mouth.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
