Dominican Devil mask

Carnival, Dominican Republic

7 inches long, painted papier mache

The person from whom I purchased this little mask said it was from the Dominican Republic. If not from that particular island, it certainly is Caribbean. Made of light-weight papier mache for limited usage. (All of the other Caribbean masks in my collection are made of heavy papier mache and intended for repeated usage.) Illustrated in the book "Masks from Around the World."
