Guatemala. Mask of the Baile de la Conquista.
Mid 20th century. Carved and painted wood. Wearing the masche you will feel a light scent of exotic wood.
The Dance of Conquest is a public ritual drama.
The drama recounts the Spanish invasion led by Pedro de Alvarado under the orders of Hernán Cortés, and it recounts the heroic defense mounted by Tekum, killed in battle by Alvarado.
The story ends with the K'iche people accepting the Christian faith.
