Antique Diablo Mexican dance mask. Nice early 20th century mask 18.5" tall x 12" wide with horns. First half of 20th century in the condition shown. Nice old mask, I will be offering a very large collection of these that was assembled in the 60's-80's, a large percentage are from the first quarter of the 20th century, some perhaps a bit older. The ones that are more recent are of exceptional quality. Some have tags identifying them, some of the tags are missing or have been degraded over time.
I won't have time to discuss the character of each mask, but I'll make sure to take good, accurate photos, and as stated you'll get the mask shown in the condition shown, with approximate age stated. They will be safely stored until sold so I won't really be able answer any specific questions, I'll give the measurements of each one when listing. And I apologize in advance for my lack of cultural awareness if I happen to call a central/south American mask a Mexican mask.
It's just there are a lot of masks and very little time, and while I think each and every one of them is absolutely fabulous or I wouldn't waste my time photographing them....I would rather spend the time I could spend learning the history of each character making sure they are packaged well enough to fall off the truck, get ran over a few times...and still make it to you intact.
