Hand Carved Devil Mask

Vibrant and full of character, this hand-carved wooden devil mask is a striking example of Latin American folk art.

This mask is carved from a single piece of wood, hand-painted in vivid red with bold black, gold, and blue facial details, and fitted with natural horn inserts for dramatic effect. The back retains an old wire for wall hanging. 🪶 Details: Material: Hand-carved wood, painted finish, natural horn inserts Handmade folk art, mid-20th century or later Region: Mexico or Guatemala (likely) Condition: Very good vintage condition for age; minor chips and wear consistent with authentic folk use Ready to hang (wire attached) This piece displays beautifully as wall art or within a folk/ethnic art collection — a one-of-a-kind mask with rich cultural history.
