The primary advantage of owning gold is that there is no counter party risk to the value of your investment. Gold has been a store of value since ancient times and this is not likely to change. By contrast, an investor in bonds or stocks could lose their entire investment if a company goes bankrupt. Despite the fact that gold can fluctuate in value, it is almost impossible to imagine a scenario when gold would have no value. The disadvantages of gold is that it is a sterile investment in terms of producing income. An investor holding physical gold will only see a gain in value if the price of gold increases. Many investors who purchase gold believe that it is a safe alternative to paper currency backed investments since over time many currencies have failed or the value of the currency has declined dramatically due to inflation.

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
