Diablo Mask

Fabulous mask but unlikely it was used in a dance. Usually the really ornate Mexican masks are decorative.

 

99% of the masks made in Mexico are just for the tourist trade. Most are quick knock-offs although some show real imagination and artistry. The authentic dance masks often have a functional design that keeps them simple and modest in size.
