A VERY rare Tigre (TIGER) Dance Mask Zitlala Guerrero, Mexico.
Anonymous Deep Yellow Tigre Dance Mask.
Early 20th C. Zitlala Guerrero, Mexico.
Painted leather and fur.
Museum-quality example.
This Dance Masks were acquired from a serious collector of Mexican and Oceanic folk art.
This style of Tigre (Mexican colloquial for Jaguar) mask is from Zitlala, Guerrero.
They are used on the feast day of the Holy Cross on May 3-5.
As part of the activities, men from different barrios put on jaguar costumes and carry out fierce fighting competitions that involve beating each other over the head with knotted rope.
The fighting is considered a crucial aspect in petitioning the deities for rain.
The impressive masks are made in leather and worn over the head to protect the wearer from injury.
The leather is painted green or yellow, depending on which barrio the participant is from.

Nick Weddell is a sculptor from Austin, Texas. He received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in ceramics from Texas State University (2016) and a Master of Fine Arts from the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University (2019). Weddell creates metamorphosed versions of everyday objects ranging from cups to armchairs in order to catalyze a celebration of that which is and a challenge to seek that which could be. Weddell’s work is an arbiter of progress, a wrecking ball of convention, and above all a harbinger of joy.
In 2019, Nick Weddell was a visiting artist at the Center for Contemporary Ceramics at California State University Long Beach and was a resident artist in Versailles, France. He is currently a long-term artist-in-residence at the Archie Bray Foundation in Montana. Most recently, Nick was featured at Design Miami with Jason Jacques Gallery...

Large Vintage Latin American Hispanic Devil Diablo Folk Art Mask with Horns

A fantastic piece. Really quite unique. We have not seen another quite like it.
Made from heavy wood and features real horns.
Likely South or Central American or perhaps from Mexico.
Has clear signs of use and age so we are estimating early to mid-20th century.
Would make for a terrific addition to any folk or tribal mask collection...
