<td width="100%">
AN UNUSUAL AND ATTRACTIVE MEXICAN INDIAN MASK<P>
Mounted on board, this colorful mask in the form of a bird-spirit, is probably created of papier mache or similar material. It is beautifully hand-painted in native ethnic colors. The collector from whom we obtained this mask said she purchased it in a small village in Mexico in the mid-20th century, but interestingly enough, its colors and form are reminiscent of the Eskimos of North America. Its condition is excellent, and colors remain bright and vibrant. There are a few tiny, nearly imperceptible stress cracks due to age. It is almost two feet in height by 15" in width by 8" in depth.
