{"product_id":"mestizo-mask-with-pre-hispanic-effigy","title":"Máscara Rostro de Mestizaje con Efige Prehispanica \/ Mestizo Face Mask with Pre-Hispanic Effigy, 19th Century","description":"\u003cp\u003eMiniature mestizo face mask with pre-Hispanic effigy, modeled clay on linen cloth. The combination of a face with European features — inspired by colonial-era characters — with a pre-Hispanic effigy creates a layered visual narrative about cultural syncretism. This small mask reflects the blending of two worlds: Spanish physiognomy alongside indigenous iconographic forms. As a miniature piece rather than a full performance mask, it functions as a concentrated emblem of Mexico's mestizo identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is sourced from Bazar de Lalo, our flagship partner in Cuernavaca, Mexico.
