Mid-20th C. Mexican Polychrome Wood Jaguar Helmet Mask

Item Details

Description

North America, Mexico, ca. mid-20th century CE. A fascinating and sizable example of a hand-carved wooden helmet mask depicting the head of a jaguar.

Tufts of brown and white horsehair project from around the cat's countenance and imbue the mask with a somewhat naturalistic presentation. An attractive and wearable mask! Size: 9.75" W x 16.1" H (24.8 cm x 40.9 cm)
