The symbolism of the Mask.
Sri Lankan Masks often tend to look surreal; bulging/huge eyes, wide grins, colorful headdresses, and a mix of colors. The authentic masks and masking traditions of Sri Lanka are an extraordinary cultural phenomenon, and a considerable contribution Sri Lanka has made to the Asian cultural spectrum.
The colors of the masks would usually represent the color of the demon of 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.
