\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>Q:\u00a0 Thanks so much for the write up about my mask. I don’t know anything about this subject, so it is so cool to learn more about it! Here are the attached photos of the other two masks I found at Goodwill. One looks like an elephant and isn’t nearly as detailed as the other. The other one looks to me like a monkey, and now that I am looking at it I think it might be some sort of plaster, not wood.\u00a0 Kelley, 1395<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A:\u00a0 I don’t normally do a second mask from the same person. Summer is slow and this monkey mask is nicely done in a traditional way. The monkey is a favorite character in the dances of the Quechua-speaking Indians of the northern Andes. They are usually carved and painted in exiting ways for performance, while also becoming a desirable souvenir for tourists. I can’t be sure whether this one has been used, or antiqued for the tourists. It is wood, not plaster.\u00a0 C<\/div>\n
