The use of masks and costumes was an important part of Mesoamerican cultures for long before the arrival of the Spanish. Evidence of masks made with bone thousands of years old have been found at Tequixquiac, State of Mexico. The uses of these masks were varied but always connected to ceremony and ritual, especially in theatrical dance and processions. High priests used masks to incarnate deities. Jaguar and eagle warriors dressed themselves like these animals in order to gain their strengths. Funeral masks were reserved for the burials of the very elite such as that of King Pakal and were works of art, made of jade, shell, obsidian, hematite and other precious materials of the time. Masks used in theatrical performances and dances varied widely: from depictions of the various animals of the Mesoamerican world, to images of old men and women generally for comedic relief, to designs that made fun of neighboring ethnic groups. Mexican mask-folk art refers to the making and use of masks for various traditional dances and ceremony in Mexico. Evidence of mask making in the region extends for thousands of years and was a well-established part of ritual life in the pre-Hispanic territories that are now Mexico well before the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire occurred. In the early colonial period, evangelists took advantage of native customs of dance and mask to teach the Catholic faith although later, colonial authorities tried to ban both unsuccessfully. After Mexican Independence, mask and dance traditions showed a syncretism and mask traditions have continued to evolve into new forms, depicting Mexico's history and newer forms of popular culture such as lucha libre. Most traditional masks are made of wood, while some are made from leather, wax, cardboard, papier-mâché or other materials. Masks commonly depict Europeans (Spanish, French, etc.), Afro-Mexicans, old men and women, animals, and the fantastic or the supernatural, especially demons or the devil.

Oaxacan crafts, a vibrant tradition in Mexico, encompass a wide array of handmade goods, including ceramics, textiles, wood carvings, and alebrijes, each reflecting the rich culture and history of the region. Oaxacan wood carvings, including alebrijes, are a prominent form of folk art, featuring whimsical and imaginative creatures. Alebrijes are fantastical, brightly painted wooden sculptures depicting animals, people, and imaginary creatures, a relatively young tradition that has become a symbol of Mexican folk art. Manuel Jiménez Ramírez (9 June 1919 – 4 March 2005) was a Mexican carver, sculptor and painter credited as the originator of the Oaxacan version of “alebrijes,” animal creatures carved in wood and painted in strong contrasting colours with intricate designs. He was a charismatic and philosophical person, who believed he was the reincarnation of an artist. He began making animal figures of clay when he was a child but changed to wood carving later, creating human figures, nativity scenes, masks and more as well as the alebrijes. His work can be found in public and private collections in various parts of the world, especially in the United States.

A flamboyant vintage 1960s 70s handmade paper maché Mexican folk art Clown with Umbrella design sculpture from Tlaquepaque. Entirely handmade hand-formed paper maché that is then hand-painted in super bright colors! Fine details on the face with painted features over a bright white clown makeup! In addition, there are also different colors of materials overlaid on top of the paper maché in pink yellow orange and blue, and he has a lace collar and parti-colored hat and umbrella! The umbrella is held up by a metal wire that has been wrapped with paper maché too, then brightly colored as well. So unique! I've had literally hundreds of these over the years, and this is the only one exactly like this one! He's about 10.75" tall by 5" wide at front by about 6" deep at bottom. Unmarked, but unmistakably the work of the talented paper maché sculptors of Tlaquepaque. These paper maché sculptures are delicate and easily damaged from inappropriate cleaning or just mischance, but this one is nearly flawless with just an accumulation of dust in the deep crevices, very slight wear at bottom from display, and a very small bit of loss of the lacquer and paint on the hands. Easily touched up if it bothers you. No cracks, no serious damage, no missing parts. In excellent vintage condition with the caveats noted above but really in great shape overall.

A vibrant, fantastical creature, known as an alebrije, stands on a blue platform. It has the body of a jaguar with yellow fur and black spots, large pink butterfly wings, and a blue head with fiery horns and sharp teeth.
This vibrant creature is a true work of art, bursting with color and whimsy. 🎨 I love how it blends the features of different animals, creating something completely unique and magical. 💫
