The face shape, the perfectly outlined eyebrows, and almond-shaped eyes correspond to the traditional style of human-featured dance masks from Guerrero. The elongated nose and dramatically flowing beard — referred to as an elephant beard for its striking length — give this piece an intensely theatrical character, designed to transform the dancer into an elder or character figure during ceremonial performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is sourced from Bazar de Lalo, our flagship partner in Cuernavaca, Mexico.
