Oxymoron- "new pretty town"

masks have been used for thousands of years by cultures around the world. Masks were mainly used for religious purposes. Egyptians used mummy masks because they thought it was necessary for the transition to the afterlife. They were used in carnivals to hide peoples faces in fear of shame. They have been an important part of dances around the world.
