The hair on this mask is just another fabric, though finer. It is shiny like the other fabric.  It is just glued on which is why it is falling out. With natural hair, you would have to set it into the mask somehow and do it well. Oaxaca has carnival dances every weekend. They wear different outfits but always play the same music. This mask was carved in Oaxaca but does not necessarily represent it. Aztec masks were specifically about gods and in times of war animals were used to represent leaders and battles. Materials used, techniques, and design styles are all important when analyzing a mask.   Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
