The idea of MASKS appealed to me, for a mask generally makes an impression quickly; its affect clear at a glance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI have collected several masks over the years, and looked at many more in museums and art books of various kinds. Three of these movements reflect particular masks that I have seen, one is a generic type, and two are waiting to be constructed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe three specific masks are: I A Haida (Northwest Native American) mask, of commanding presence; II a Huichol (Mexican Native) Jaguar mask, completely beaded with intricate flower patterns; and III, an African American death mask of great calmness. IV is a clown mask, and the last two are left entirely to your imagination.'\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Papagena Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46967964008742,"sku":"680160557660","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/3559\/5814\/products\/C000680160557660_d.jpg?v=1697498209","url":"https:\/\/www.flute4u.com\/products\/hoover-k-masks","provider":"Carolyn Nussbaum Music Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
