One of the Rangers who had been killed was the Lone Ranger's brother, Tonto made a mask from his shirt for the Ranger to wear until they caught the gang (so that he wouldn't be recognised by Cavendish). After they caught the gang the ranger decided to keep wearing the mask until the West was free of crime. So, that is why the Lone Ranger wore a mask.
However, this is not how they were designed to be viewed. African masks should be seen as part of a ceremonial costume. They are used in religious and social events to represent the spirits of ancestors or to control the good and evil forces in the community. They come to life, possessed by their spirit in the performance of the dance, and are enhanced by both the music and atmosphere of the occasion.
