Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $300**

Central America, Guatemala, ca. first half of the 20th century CE.

Each mask presents with hand-painted detailing in hues of red, pink, black, and golden yellow with elaborate coiffures replete with dozens of incised grooves. The eye holes of the masks were once filled with vestigial eyes, perhaps made from glass, and sight holes for the wearer are situated above along the brow. Size of largest: 7.25" W x 8.875" H (18.4 cm x 22.5 cm)

Provenance: private Los Angeles County, California, USA collection, acquired by descent from the owner's father, collection amassed between 1950-1990

All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
