Ceremonial Conquistador Mask used during the Dance of the Conquest. This character represents a Spanish soldier; a captain or a simple combatant. During the Dance, they will fight against the Mayan Warriors. Blond hair and moustaches are nicely carved. Notice the gracefully black painted eyebrows and eyelashes that highlight the beautiful brown glass eyes. Spectacular high relieve carved decorations on the forehead can be found. Great patina on the back and different layers of paint denote use and age. Please Notice that the price includes FREE USPS Shipping.
