The story of Diablo Saqra Dance Mask

The horns, tongue and volume produce a silhouette that can also be appreciated in profile. The catalogue associates this contemporary workshop model with Paucartambo.

Historical and archaeological context

The catalogue relates this model to the Saqra dance of Paucartambo. It is a reference to a living festive tradition; the workshop record should be distinguished from claims about an archaeological object (Canal IPe, 2017)

The offered work is a contemporary handmade creation. The cultural reference does not identify it with the museum object or make every detail a reproduction of a specific archaeological find.

Workshop memory and technical process

Papier-mâché, resin, wood, lacquers and woven ribbon. The horns are shipped separately for assembly. Dimensions include the horns and tongue.

Components and finishes are described for the current model. Materials and procedures not documented in the record are not attributed to the work.
