Vintage Mexican Hand-Carved Wooden Jaguar Dance Masks

Description

This striking pair of authentic Mexican Guerrero-style dance masks features hand-carved wood decorated in bold yellow, black, and red paint with spotted jaguar motifs. Both masks are detailed with real animal tooth or tusk accents set into open mouths and decorated with natural boar bristle hair inserted around the cheeks, chin, and brows. Both pieces show vintage wear, age-appropriate surface patina, and minor paint loss consistent with traditional hand-crafted folk art. Please see photos for more details.
