Gallery One - Mexican Masks Masks in Mexico tell a story and the story, usually associated with religious fiestas, is acted out in dances, or pagents. Each region of Mexico has its own unique style of dances and masks. Even when regions celebrate the same date fiesta, the regional masks and dances are different and unique. If a town is prosperous, they will sometimes hire a dance troop to come into their town and perform selected dances for the more important fiestas. The mask maker in a village usually learns mask-making from a family member, a tradition that is handed down generation to generation. Masks and the fiestas and the accompanying dances are steeped in tradition, and have great appeal both for the observer and the participants. It is part of the magic of Mexico. The masks of Michoacan are among the best in all of Mexico. We have included two Guerrero Masks in this sampling -- the Tigre y Traje and the Mariposa mask as we have an excellent contact in Guerrero for these highly prized masks.
