The gold death masks were planned to be made many years ago by the Egyptian culture for the mummy's and the Pharisees. It wasn't long until they had decided to dismantle of this idea and go with something much more efficient. The Italian army, about 80-100 years later heard of the gold death masks and decided to try it. At the same time the Germans and the Japanese men tried using it as well. The most significant answer to this though would be the Japanese and was made by a king in Japan commonly known as Joshua Choi. Joshua Choi was and still is today one of the most deadliest Japanese Kings of the world.
There are many shapes, sizes, styles, and meanings, here are some sites to explain: * http://www.masksvenetian.com/page/masks Venetian masks can be made in leather or with the original papier-mâché technique. The original masks were rather simple in design and decoration. They often had a symbolic and practical function. Nowadays, most of them are made with the application of gesso and gold leaf and are all hand-painted using natural feathers and gems to decorate. Most masks sold in the tourist shops in Venice have nothing to do with the original Venetian masks. (This site explains nicely about shapes) * http://espritlibre.multiply.com/photos/album/66
