Diablico Sucio Mask

Los Santos, Panama

11 inches, painted papier mache

Probably made by Dario Lopez, a highly regarded mask maker who often does smaller masks like this one for wall decoration. His huge masks for wearing at carnaval time are much larger, highly detailed... and considerably more expensive. Panamanian carnaval masks have more in common with Caribbean cultures than those to the north (Guatemala) or the south (Ecuador)
