Six colorful masks from Guatemala's Dance of the Conquest come to life in ceramic. Adapted from Spanish history, in which the Spaniards expelled the Moors from their homeland, the dance portrays the struggle between the Spaniards and the Maya. A man with golden hair and beard is the conquistador. The red devil has golden horns and a skeleton represents death. Animals of the jungle include a red jaguar, black and white monkey and a colorful toucan, completing the set of six original ornaments by Jose Arriola. They arrive in a pouch of handloomed cotton.
