Description
Rare Mezcala Maskette w/ Ancestor Figure (300 BC-500 AD)
Many of the Mezcala Maskettes have adornments on their head, typically frogs, birds, and little temples. This rare, and uniquely proportioned, ancestor figure may relate to the transition into the afterlife. The piece has many aspects of the Mezcala sculptural style, emphasizeing geometric abstraction in both human figures.
