Decorative Mexican masks
Instead of being performed by dancers, these decoratives are sold as art or souvenirs. Often they don't follow tradition, and the better ones prove that Mexican carvers are true artists who create wonderful painted sculpture that anyone would be proud to display. Most collections fail to recognize this important category.
