Máscara de conejo
Description
Carved wooden face mask representing a rabbit. The face is painted gray and the muzzle is painted white. Whiskers on either side of the face are painted black and the diamond-shaped eyes are painted white with blue irises and black pupils. The long ears on top of the head stick almost straight up. Above the eyes are two crescent-shaped holes through which the dancer could look out.
