$85.00
sold out

Carved from wood and hand painted, with glass eyes and eye holes above. Some areas with paint loss and scuffing. 10' x 6 1/2" x 5 1/2"

A 20th century folk art ‘Dance of Conquest’ mask, representing a Spanish conquerer. According to the British Museum: “The Dance of the Conquest was encouraged, possibly even imposed by Guatemala’s colonial officials and friars, as it painted the outcome of conquest and conversion to Christianity in a positive light. Over time, it has become accepted as tradition, and remains one of Guatemala's most well-known dances.”
