FIESTA / FESTIVAL MASKS ARE MADE AND WORN FOR VARIOUS CELEBRATIONS THRU-OUT MEXICO AND SOUTH AMERICA. I DON'T KNOW ENOUGH TO SAY WHICH COUNTRY THIS EXAMPLE CAME FROM, BUT IT IS TYPICAL OF CONTEMPORARY PAINT, COLORS AND DESIGNS USED IN LOCAL FESTIVALS. THERE ARE SOUVENIR MASKS MADE IN OLDER MAYAN AND AZTEC DESIGN FOR SALE IN MEXICO AS WELL. THERE IS QUITE A VARIETY MADE IN MEXICO FROM ANIMALS TO SAINTS AND DEVILS THE OLDER ONES CAN BE CARVED FROM WOOD AND BE REAL WORKS OF ART.
