This mask is gorgeous. It was made for someone important (and well-to-do) to wear at a big ceremony. In my notes I wrote it was made by the famous mask maker, Victoriano Salgado, who is from Uruapan, Michoacan. One of my collector friends sent the photo to me several years ago. The wooden part of the mask would be adult human in size.

Wow! That’s a stunning one bob! I do remember this one from your site many years ago, although my admiration has grown since…
Let me know if that one is ever up for sale!
