In Clan of the Cave Bear, author and scientist Jean Auel recreates a mesolithic scene; the intermingling of H.sapiens with H. Neanderthalis. (sp?) In it she definitely describes ceremonies using masks of animals...

Please do not rely upon Clan of the Cave Bear for you understanding of cultural anthropology. It's so flawed and unscientifically presumptuous as to be a bad fictional account.

Two-thousand years ago, Pictish chieftans wore ceremonial head-gear, made from the skulls of stags. The antlers signified their position in the tribe/clan. This was probably a forerunner. A later Highland battle-cry was "Caber Feigh!", or "Antlers of the Deer!".
