Carved Mexican Carnival Mask in Bold Red and Blue Paint set of people but all of the lids

but all of the lids come off easily and close tight

Brown fabric (silk I believe

and then that lovely little turned detail at the very end of the blonde one

Gorgeous aging to the painting

Carved Mexican Carnival Mask in Bold Red and Blue Paint set of people but all of the lidsThis mask, Mexican I believe, and I think likely Guerrero, is all about the red and sky blue paint for me great color, great surface, and surely we all need a second pair of eyes. I believe the red indicates it as a Moor mask, used in dances representing fighting between the Christians and the Moors (Muslims). It appears to have been worn and with a good bit of age to it, with remnants of string at the temples on the back. 6" t x 4 3 8" measured
