| Description: | Masks for sale
Native Mexican dances evolved to incorporate both types of figures, and animal masks as well as those of European origin are still used in local festivals. Many decorative masks are also produced for sale to tourists.
Masks differ tremendously from region to region. We have new masks and older masks up to thirty years old that have been used by dancers. Our masks are primarily from the states of Oaxaca, Michoacan, and Guerrero. | | hits: | 782 | | Added on: | 12-May-2007 | | Comments: | 0 |

| Description: | Kagura masks are primarily made from Washi, or Japanese paper. The mask is made by layering the paper onto a plaster mask mold, removing the paper once it has dried, and then hand painting the mask. The paper masks are much lighter than the original wood masks used in the past, which allows quick, free movement during a performance | | hits: | 754 | | Added on: | 24-Apr-2001 | | Comments: | 0 |

| Description: | West Coast Native Indian Art incorporates the use of design and legends to create a unique look unique any other art form in the world. It is strongly characterized by even distribution of weight and movement, so space-filling using traditional forms and legendary figures is an important principle of this art ......... the curve of a fin, may become the beak of a bird whose eye will contain a spirit design and so on. Although traditional ovoid shapes, eye, claw and feather shapes are used, each individual artist incorporates these shapes to his own advantage along with some of his own designs to create unique pieces of art which distinguish his work from others.
The symbols of the Native Cultures of the northwest have similar meanings, although the legends associated with them may be slightly different. These explanations are meant to be a guide to a better understanding of what each symbol stands for. | | hits: | 706 | | Added on: | 31-May-2002 | | Comments: | 0 |

| Description: | A set of 12 beautifully carved and painted wood pre-colonial Mayan folk masks with real glass eyes and original costumes is now offered on the market for the first time. These 12 masks belong to the Ketchi "Cortez" dance and were made before the turn of the century in Guatamala. They then found their way into the Maya Mountains of Belize where they were used until 1981. There is documentation of their use in Belize's national Independence Day celebration.
This is a powerful collection and has a very intersting story about how they had to be exorcized after being acquired. Many wood folk masks from Meso-America, due to the tropical climate and the custom of destroying the masks after their use makes finding an intact collection more than fifty years old very unusual. Most of the folk masks on the market today have been made for the tourist market and have never been used in a legitimate folk ritual. This folk collection was used for more than a hundred years and brings with them the power of their history. | | hits: | 642 | | Added on: | 30-Mar-2003 | | Comments: | 0 |
