Observations: This mask is unusual in that it has been entirely brush painted. All masks of this type coming from the state of Puebla are now air-brushed, which is much faster. Eye-lashes have been hand-made from cow hair found around the ankles instead of commercially made eyelashes now being used. This was the original technique. Character represents a wealthy Spaniard during the Colonial era.
