Q: I have a picture of mask that was purchased out of country and need origin and value. Can I send a picture? It’s a set of two. Please email me. Tammy, 1457
A: This exciting mask portrays a jaguar (or tigre in Spanish) that is a character in several Guatemalan dances. These beautiful cats were once the top predator in Mexico all the way down to Argentina. Today they survive in only a few remote forest. How sad it is. Sorry, we only do one mask per person, per month. Nor do we appraise for free. Instead, we often end the answer with a letter grade. B
