This mask corresponds to the antagonist character of Pilate, also known as the Moor, in the community dance-theater of the Puebla region; these characters lead the dance troupes and ritually represent the challenges and battles of the spiritual conquest. The bright red face denotes ferocity, transgression, or a pagan nature, reinforced by the exaggerated arched black eyebrows extending toward the temples.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is sourced from Bazar de Lalo, our flagship partner in Cuernavaca, Mexico.
