Tizoc. This half mask is a blending of human and devil face features with two goat horns, large round eyes, a wrinkled forehead, and an upper lip with six sharp teeth sticking out. Made by molding plaster bandage, paper clay onto the face of Tizoc, the artists' son, for a performance of play titled PasÃon, where the children played diablitos, little devils. Painted with acrylic paints, reinforced with fiberglass. Goat horns extend up and curve outward to the sides.
