\"\"<\/a>Q: Taking a look at the posts concerning Guatemala on your website, I found the one from 13\/01\/2018 (“Repro of Patron mask from Guatemala”). Maybe you will find interesting this Patr\u00f3n, a nicely carved example, not very old, dating probably from the mid-20th century and showing a nice patina on the back. Cedar hardwood. Dance Patzcar, mainly Nahual\u00e1 and around (province of Solol\u00e1). Very similar to the one presented on “https:\/\/mexicandancemasks.com\/?p=3895”. <\/p>\n

For details and pics about the Patzcar family of dances, see \u201cMasks of Guatemalan Traditional Dances, Brown and Rossilli, 2008, vol 1, pg251-276. As mention there, these dances are erroneously mixed up by some authors (including Pieper in his book \u201cGuatemala\u2019s Masks and Dramas\u201d) with the Patzc\u00e1a dance performed in Rabinal, where there are the famous \u201cgoiter masks\u201d. Jean, 1601<\/p>\n

A: It’s a beautiful mask and your description is helpful. I want to add that this is an authentic artifact, whereas the one I posted last year was artificially aged for the market place. I hope some of our viewers will compare the two Patrons. A\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
