Description
Antique Mexican Terracotta Goblin Mold for Papier Mache Dance Masks. Unsure of exact age but it seems really old. It was part of the greatest central American/Mexican mask collection ever. 9.5" tall x 7.25" wide, there were a few others of these in different characters/sizes in the same collections. I will be offering a very large collection of these that was assembled in the 60's-80's, a large percentage are from the first quarter of the 20th century, some perhaps a bit older. The ones that are more recent are of exceptional quality. Some have tags identifying them, some of the tags are missing or have been degraded over time. I won't have time to discuss the character of each mask, but I'll make sure to take good, accurate photos, and as stated you'll get the mask shown in the condition shown, with approximate age stated. They will be safely stored until sold so I won't really be able answer any specific questions, I'll give the measurements of each one when listing. And I apologize in advance for my lack of cultural awareness if I happen to call a central/south American mask a Mexican mask. It's just there are a lot of masks and very little time, and while I think each and every one of them is absolutely fabulous or I wouldn't waste my time photographing them....I would rather spend the time I could spend learning the history of each character making sure they are packaged well enough to fall off the truck, get ran over a few times...and still make it to you intact.
