\"aaaMystrySolvd-1032-a\"<\/a>Q:<\/strong>\u00a0 Found this today at a barn sale in Pennsylvania and was wondering if it’s a carnival mask?\u00a0 Central America?\u00a0 Not a collector, just couldn’t leave it behind. \u00a08 inches high and 6 inches across.\u00a0 Thanks.\u00a0 Terence, 1032<\/p>\n

A:<\/strong>\u00a0 It is a carnival mask from somewhere in Mexico, or maybe Guatemala. But more importantly, it is old, well used, yet still in good condition. I get a special kick out the cigarette hole which clearly has been used. I’ve also heard of booze being poured down holes like this. Mexican and Central American carnivals can get pretty rowdy. I think you have a nice cultural artifact.\u00a0 A\"aaaMystrySolvd-1032-c\"<\/a>\"aaaMystrySolvd-1032-b\"<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
