Facial Mask

Tikar mask, stylized and pointed chin. Eyes torn under arched eyebrows and elongated and straight nose. Triangular ears and mouth with the upper lip much more prominent than the lower lip. The black upper lip, as well as the nose, eyebrows and much of the headdress. Under the mouth a pointed striated chin that represses the beard. From the corners of the lips and from the center of the forehead begin some peduncles topped by a striated blade. The headdress, separated by a black stripe, alternates one striated brown part and another black part, smooth, with two smooth, brown ends. The face is covered by a kind of paste or reddish resin amalgamated with vegetable fiber, ground straw type, which is what gives it its patina. We don't know which category this mask belongs to, but it gives the impression of being a mask used in playful shows.
