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, moustaches and some even have sunburned cheeks (red dots on cheeks and nose), indicating the European roots. This rare masks was originally carved to be a Patcarina with a prominent hair-do, but after carving the piece, the Moreria added moustaches to it, transforming the Patzcarina into a Patzcar. The hair-do has suffered scratches. Notice the many layers of paint and great Patina on the backside. Please notice that the price inlcudes FREE USPS Shipping.
