Masks of Mexico and Guatemala

 

Archero mask

Guerrero

8 inches, wood, paint

From danza de los Archereos, the protruding bars or eyebrows are typical for these masks. Also the arrow like design indicates that this would come from this dance, which is another variant of the dance of the Christians and Moors. Old and used. Note how the small eyes contrast with the large eyebrows. Wish I knew the story behind this.
