Handcarved wooden Blue Bull decorative Mask

These beautiful wooden masks have been handcarved with traditional techniques and handpainted. Although bulls are not native to Mesoamerica, they arrived with the Spaniards and eventually became important characters in several contemporary Mayan dance dramas such as Baile del Torito, Baile Patzcar, and Baile Costeño.

The image of the Torito can also be associated with strength and courage, representing the ability to face challenges and the determination to overcome adversity.

The quality and detail of these masks are equal to those used in performances, but we offer them as decorative objects for your home. The masks have a small hole on their crowns for hanging on a wall.
