MASK COLLECTION
These wonderful masks on two walls were donated to the MonteCedro Art Collection by Findley R. and Donald A. Cotton, many collected by them on trips from around the world. A date if given refers to the year in which the mask was purchased or received by the Cottons as a gift, with the exception of two very old ones made around 1900.

GYOTAKU — a technique developed by Japanese fishermen a century ago to record the exact size and specie of their catch. Artists have perfected the art form. These are original impressions. The sinkers on the fish line are Pat's signature seals. The framed prints are signed on the reverse of the framed art.
