Does displaying masks have a negative impact on feng shui?

Dear cecil,
I read somewhere that one should not display mask (some wooden, some painted, some carved etc. at home. Is it true. Thanks.

Dear Anon,
1. Usually, in Chinese buildings, you can find figurines, especially those above Chinese rocco style bungalows with faces or masks of fierce mystical animals.
The purpose is to `scare' away evil.
2. Usually, within the home, in order to bring good luck, often, swords or knifes and even pictures of hungry, stalking animals are avoided.
As this is considered inauspicious for luck.
3. Thus, there are many various types, shapes and form of masks, and it is subjective where, they imply, the above (Para 2). Some masks have smiley faces also.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Further to my earlier message, attached please find some pictures on how Chinese rocco-type houses, place a `mask' (a fierce one) at the frontage.
Here goes...

Then, I had used a PC based software to combine around 5 photos to make this photo:-

Today, with smartphones one can do it seamlessly! 

P.S. The PC software was something like "Stitcher" or "Stitch Photos"... LOL
