Mexico is a land with an extensive
and varied cultural background amongst its people and regions.
The tradition of dance and the use of Masks dates back before
the Incas and Mayas. They are still used in celebration and are
seen everywhere as decor. Masks are a part of the heritage of
all of Mexico. |

Mexican Masks come from all
parts of the country and no two Masks are exactly alike, even
though they will appear similar; they are all hand made and reflect
the heritage of the artisan.
Mostly carved from wood in
the style of the ancients and pre-Spanish Indian societies, the
Masks of Mexico are often designed with a stylized mix of influence
from the Colonial days of the early Spanish. We also offer many
Masks of the same styles as in wood though made from paper mache.
Many of the wooden Masks,
as shown on this page, are collector quality pieces and all Masks
are quality items that are worthy of your ownership. |

The imagination of Mexican Masks
range from the simple lines used for carnival celebrations to
complex figures reminiscent of the time when all the unknowns
of the jungle were empowered into a Mask in hopes of guaranteeing
the future to the wearer. Masks are often decorated with feathers
and we even offer Masks that are completely beaded over the wood
carving. If you are seeking a unique item to enhance your decor,
a handmade Mask from Mexico is certainly affordable and a one-of-a-kind.
