This mask was made in the times periods of 300-800 B.C.
As you can see it has a very vivid expression. The reason why is because their theatres could sit hundreds of people and they needed to hear(given the wide mouth) what the actors were saying from far away and see what they were feeling. All actors were men. Men also had to play women in order for the show to go on.

About the young traveler
Last Wednesday, the 27th, a young explorer by the name of Samantha Krumenacker, went on a long journey up to the City of Angels to visit the collections of ancient artifacts left for us by the late great oil man, John Paul Getty. She tells us she enjoyed all the different types of art and all the history behind it. "I look forward to learning more about these types of artifacts in my upcoming travels to both Rome and Greece this summer." said Samantha.
