Sophie. Full face mask used in performances by Ballet Folklorico Quetzalli-AZ of Chandler, AZ. It is painted with purple flower-like designs around the eyes better than outlined in blue. The nose is dark blue, and the teeth are outlined in blue with pink on top. In the center of the forehead is a gold V-shaped design with pink, purple, blue, and more gold designs on top. The cheeks are designed with blue swirls, Golden V's, and green dots on each side, and the chin has a large golden W-shaped swirl outlined in blue with green dots in the center.
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.
