Mexican character

Dance of the Mexicans, Guatemala

7 inches, painted wood with glass eyes

In the popular Dance of the Mexicans, the dancers dress up in sombreros and charro clothes to make fun of their neighbors to the North. They are supposed to be rich cowboys from the North who can afford gold teeth. There is plenty of loud music and dances as if they were drunk at a Mexican fiesta. The masks are usually darker in color and almost always have long noses. Very well carved and repainted, the back shows it was used for several seasons.
