  -Tin Devil Doctor Mask  -
This is a very unusual piece of Mexican folk art, circa 1945-1950, from Tuxpan, Jalisco. Hand made, tin ceremonial dance mask of the devil with reading glasses and doctor's mirror on the upper portion of the piece. The mask is fashioned out of an old can of cooking lard (the painted label can still be read on the inside of the item). This is a "danced mask," and a truly rare find! The piece measures 16 inches (40.5 cm). Price: $295 US
