Mexican Archero mask

Dance of the Moors and Christians, Guerrero

9 inches, painted wood

This has the protruding, squared off eye brows and mustache of the Archero style mask, but it is rather unusual in other respects. The large, narrow shape of the face is certainly not typical. It could also be a moro chino. Whether the mask is decorative or authentic seems to me a toss up.
