The Huichol Indians express their beliefs and deep religious feeling through their art. To the Huichols, religion is not a part of life, it is life. Their art is a direct extension of their religion and it is made not from the standpoint of decoration, but to give profound expression to concepts of spiritual beliefs. Traditional Huichol art, whether it be meticulous beadwork, yarn paintings, masks, votive bowls and arrows or striking embroidered and woven personal adornments, are beautiful not only from the aesthetic standpoint but from the psychological as well. The art consists of many symbols, which tell the story of each piece.

BASKET YAM masks (left) and WOODEN YAM masks (right) are found in the Abelam villages above the Sepik River in Papua New Guinea. Men weave or carve these masks, then paint them with clay pigments or natural dyes, for decorating the largest yams at harvest ceremonies. During ceremonial displays, colorful feathers, flowers, leaves and shell money are added for beauty and power. A man's status is judged by how long he can grow these ceremonial yams, which can reach 9-12 feet

We acquired the 70 plus African masks during several years of living in Western and Central African countries prior to 1986. We wish to market the entire collection, or, alternatively, ethnic groupings that may be of interest to individual collectors. Most of the masks were made in Zaire (Kuba, Pende, Salampasu, Songye, Tshokwe, Yaka, Suku, etc.). Eight of the masks are rare Kom pieces from Cameroon. Masks from Mali, Liberia, Angola and Ivory Coast are also included. The masks which we consider art objects were created for specific utilitarian purposes, as tools to facilitate cultural functions -initiation into adulthood and secret societies, ancestor worship, births, deaths, law enforcement, fertility and agricultural rites, healing and exorcism, etc. Sadly, most African countries which do have museums are without resources to preserve them. The effects of termites, fungi and other pathogens can be seen on many masks.

Mike Lorefice's Merchandise These are the masks they sell in Japan for fans to wear to the shows so they can try to look as cool as their favorite masked wrestler. Anyway, they are very cool if you can afford them, but unfortunately, like seemingly everything in Japan, they are really expensive.

Masks play an important role in Mexico?s rich heritage of dances and fiestas. Masks are worn on such ceremonial occasions as Carnival, Holy Week and Days of the Dead. The majority of our masks are handcarved from copal or zompantle wood in the state of Guerrerro. Another wonderful item are the worn "trajes" or canvas dance suits painted on both sides with several small masks stitched to their front.
