Mexican "Viejos" mask from the region of Patzcuaro. I wrote a long post on these on FB, which I should probably add to TC as well. Very common to find them in Tiki Bars in the 60s & 70s even though they were Mexican folklore masks made for tourists. Identifying characteristics are the eye-slots always ABOVE the carved eyes and the wrinkles carved into the forehead and cheeks, as they were meant to represent old people. |
