Knitted Mask

Bolivia

Large size, dyed and natural wool

Bolivia has a rich masking traditions that includes many styles and methods of construction. Wool-knit masks with human features are used by the Kollas of Puno and Paucartambo, and other cloth masks are worn by the Kusillu of the Altiplano. Though this mask is inspired by that tradition, it was probably made for sale to tourists.
