Calaca $83. Full face mask used in performances by Arizona theater and dance companies. Its eyes are surrounded by light blue with designs coming down the cheeks and up the forehead in a swirling pattern with a purple dot at the center of the forehand. Its teeth are sharp like a demon's and outlined in dark pink and light purple. The chin has a light blue design coming down from the cheeks that match the swirling design on the forehead.
It is made of plaster bandage and paper clay, painted with acrylic paints and ribbon, which ties the mask to the performer.
These masks are part of the Performance Collection, which contains pieces available for loan to use in community and artistic performances.
