Reached our days, only 11 of these masks, the other for whatever reason no longer used. Some of these types of masks (for example, mask the Clown) has an interesting feature: the sliding jaw, so that if an actor in the mask leaned back to laugh, the mask represents a smiling face with the wide-open mouth, and if he tilts his head down when angry, then the mask has an angry expression with the mouth closed.
