Original Toronto Star caption: These masks of an old man and woman held by the Hellers, were also made by craftsmen in Sri Lanka. In the apartment the masks are displayed on a wall with companion masks depicting faces of youth. The collectors' advice to travellers: If you want an authentic memento go to the craftsman not a souvenir shop.
