Indigo Arts offers a collection of fine antique and contemporary dance masks from Mexico and Guatemala. Drawing on roots in both pre-Columbian Meso-America and Europe, las mascaras have long been used in the celebration of the popular holidays of Carnival, Christmas and the Dias de los Muertos (Days of the Dead), as well as such specific festival dances as the Dance of the Tigers, the Dance of the Conquest, the Dance of the Tejorones, and the Dance of the Moors and the Christians.
Our collection includes masks by artists from Guatemala and the Mexican states of Michoacan, Oaxaca, Veracruz, Morelos and the prolific mask-making state of Guererro.
