The Patzcar Dance is a very good example of the Indigenous view about the European colonization and the Western Culture. The plot of the ceremony is the life at a ranch and the cowboys that work at the ranch are played by Indigenous people. The Patzcar has a wife or daughter, the “Patzcarina”; the cowboys will fight each other with whips (for real) to earn the love of the Patzcarina. The winner will take her away, fooling the boss. All the Patzcar Masks have white skin and sunburned cheeks (red dots on cheeks and nose), indicating the European roots. This mask represents the Patzcar’s Daughter, the Patzcarina. The piece has a hand carved tuft or hair-do. Fine nose, mouth and cheeks have red dots denoting sunburn. Elegantly painted eyelashes and eyebrows give the mask the feminine touch. Although this is a female character, only men can perform in the ceremonial dances. Please notice that the price includes FREE USPS Shipping.
