Huasi Condor mask - Alamito culture, Argentina

A rare mask with characteristic features, remarkable for its hemmed mouth that seems to blow, indicating that life comes from the stone. The line of the nose that joins the eyebrows to form a sort of T is the other significant mark of this type of mask, whose use seems linked to funerary rites.
From an American collection. Acquired in the United States in 1983.
