In the present state of Vera Cruz on the Gulf of Mexico and surrounded by the states of Tamaulipas, Oaxaca, Chiapas, Tabasco, Puebla, Hidalgo and San Lu?s Potos?, great Pre-Columbian cultures thrived. Among these cultures are the Olmeca, the Huasteca and the Totonaca. It is believed these cultures began 100 years B.C.. Huge and elaborate ceremonial centers were constructed for the many ceremonies that were customary for these cultures. One such ceremony is still one of the most famous in all of Mexico, known as "The Flight of the Papantlaco", performed to implore the Natural Forces to bring rain for healthy crops. The Spanish Conquest reached this area in 1518 headed by Juan of Grijalva. The City of Vera Cruz was founded a year later by Hernan Cortes. Upon achieving Independence, Mexico maintained Vera Cruz with all of it's rich history and heritage. This area is one of the richest archeological sights for lovers of Pre-Columbian art and history. This mask is a replica of the many masks used by the Totonaca and other cultures of that era. Measures 12" high x 11" wide.

This shaman's mask is an exquisite example of old Nepali workmanship. It has seen much use and still shows traces of green, white and red pigments. The surface has an incredible dark patina. The human hair beard and mustache were attached with pieces of old canvas and leather. There is a native repair to a stress crack in the forehead. Old masks of this quality are no longer available in the field. This one came from a Spanish collection

"These paintings are the product of a synthesis where the traditional techniques of the old masters are fused with modern ideas. Since such elaborate work takes time, Brian paints only a few canvases each year and it's little wonder that these rare originals are highly sought after by collectors. Now via the internet, you can view these paintings - some before they're even dry."
