Signed 20th C. Argentinean Wood Bird Festival Mask

Item Details

Description

South America, Argentina, Salta Province, Campo Duran, ca. 20th century CE. A charming bird mask, hand carved from a single piece of wood and hand painted in warm umber brown with white and black stripes. There are eye hole slits for the wearer and the mask is perforated on the top for suspension. The bird is likely meant to represent a type of ovenbird, since "hornero," the Spanish word for baker, and "oven" in English, are written on the interior. The inner rim also has a handwritten label including the location and name "Hugo Rosas," an unknown artist who perhaps carved this delightful bird. Size: 8" L x 7" W (20.3 cm x 17.8 cm)
