Wool mask
Peru
Adult size, knitted wool
Q:
In Cusco, Peru a few years
ago I saw their Corpus Christi celebration. I loved
their costumes, especially the masks. Since my trip, I
have been looking for a waq'ollo mask to purchase, but I
am having a very hard time finding anything on-line.

A: The woven
masks of Peru are striking and almost impossible for collectors
to find. This doesn't make sense. Cuzco has lots of religious
festivals, carnivals, and private celebrations where masks are
worn. Many characters are portrayed utilizing
different materials and styles of construction. Let's keep
looking for them! |
