I love Masks...

2009.11.01

wooden carved mask of a deer from Nicaragua...

This one is strange.. no eyes... it's from the Carib region of Dominica

This is my most prized mask... It's a traditional papier mache mask from Mongolia... carried it back carefully on numerous flights. When the Russians controlled Mongolia, the craft died... I was thrilled to find this....
