Exquisite ceremonial dance mask representing an old woman who represents the hunter’s wife in the Deer Dance. Notice the pale skin highlighted with large sunburned blushes in cheeks nose, ears and even the chin. Tiny red lips and black painted eyes give the mask a cute look. Thick carved grey hair carvings are highlighted by rolling curls on the forehead. A lovely red flower decorates her head. The paint has small fractures in the skin and show many different layers as a sign of the many times that the piece has been painted during the years. In Guatemalan Dances, women are not allowed to perform, so a man dressed as a woman will use this mask. The smoothest backside patina tells the many adventures and events that this piece has overcome. A small feasure in the right back side can be seen.
