The research group selected 52 typical masks out of the total 152 masks under the record of “Tuong Hue masks” to implement the production with diverse and typical criteria of each character. The 52 masks will be made on 2 different kinds of material and sizes to be used for displaying, decoration (big size masks), and for wearing in performances (small size ones).
