Description:
|
|
The Otomi are an indigenous people of Mexico inhabiting the central Mexican Plateau (Altiplano) region. This anthropomorphic wooden mask with two horns covered with fur would have been worn by a volador, one of four or five dancers who "fly" down from the top of a tall wooden pole on gradually unwinding and lengthening ropes. The Danza de los Voladores is an ancient Mesoamerican ceremony or ritual still performed today, albeit in modified form, in isolated pockets in Mexico and Guatemala. It is believed to have originated with the Nahua, Huastec and Otomi peoples in central Mexico. This mask is the character Macho Cabrillo (“billy goat”). It is from San Bartolo Tutotepec, Hidalgo State. (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Main_Page)
