Folk Art Mask

Great folk art papier mache festival mask with specially constructed display stand.  6 3/4" tall by 5 1/2" wide.  The mask reputedly is from Mexico, possibly worn in the annual festival celebrating the “Day of the Dead”.  The size of the mask suggests that it would have been worn by a child.  It is quite early, possibly dating to the 19th century, and has wear and minor losses that are age-appropriate.  (CE-27)
