Great masks shown here Mesoamerica, or Middle-America, is the area of Mexico and Central America occupied in prehistoric times by peoples of related, ritual-driven and magic-based cultures. What differentiates masks of Mesoamerica today from those of other cultures (European and Asian, for example) is their unique melding of animistic themes and archetypes: fertility, death, rites of passage, gods and devils, heroes and villains, and Hispano-Christian beliefs, reflecting the belief system of a mestizo (or mixed-race) culture. Perhaps the most enduring qualities of masks from Mesoamerica are their na?ve, folk-art characteristics: directness and freshness of vision, outrageous humor, simple, bright colors, crisp and expressive carving or modeling, and the refreshing certitude of both their makers and their wearers.

Masks are a very special part of the Mexican culture and recall early hispanic times. For example; the mighty Aztecs had a very special elite in their society: The ?Eagle Knights? (Caballeros Aguila); the highest-class soldiers always respected for their unique braveness and fighting skills. They used to wear a mask and a whole eagle outfit. The mask reflexed their status; it was intimidating and sacred. Masks are mystical; they show another side of the personality of the person who wears it. In Lucha Libre, the mask gives the ?enmascarado? (masked man) a free soul to express himself on the ring. A mask is not just an accessory but also a symbol, an attitude, a cultural icon, an identity for a Luchador. It is like having a second skin that gives you special powers. It gives the Enmascarado?s blood a new essential ingredient and protects him too.

Masks play an important role in Mexico?s rich heritage of dances and fiestas. Masks are worn on such ceremonial occasions as Carnival, Holy Week and Days of the Dead. The majority of our masks are handcarved from copal or zompantle wood in the state of Guerrerro. Another wonderful item are the worn "trajes" or canvas dance suits painted on both sides with several small masks stitched to their front.
