{"product_id":"vintage-mexican-folk-art-leather-bird-mask","title":"Vintage Mexican Folk Art Leather Bird Mask","description":"\u003cp\u003eHand-formed leather folk art mask depicting a stylized hummingbird or long-beaked bird form, constructed from shaped and stitched leather with an elongated tapering beak, molded facial contours, and pierced eye openings. The mask retains visible hand-laced seam construction along the lower beak and crown, with a darkened burnished surface showing natural variation and age-related patina throughout. Its sculptural silhouette and exaggerated proportions give the piece a distinctly surreal and ceremonial appearance while maintaining the handcrafted character associated with regional Mexican leatherwork traditions.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMasks of this type were produced as decorative folk art objects and ceremonial-inspired wall pieces in regions of Mexico including Guerrero, where molded leather craft traditions incorporated stylized animals, birds, and folkloric imagery. The stitched leather construction and hollow molded form distinguish the piece from carved wood masks more commonly associated with African tribal traditions.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nShows moderate to heavy age-related wear throughout including scuffs, abrasions, finish variation, edge wear, and drying to the leather. Stitching shows scattered fraying and looseness in areas, with minor deformation to the leather form consistent with age and handling.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n17\" L x 7\" W x 9.5\" H\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMM - 20668 - 051326\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor information regarding shipping, please visit our Terms \u0026amp; Conditions page \u003ca class=\"GeneratedLink\" href=\"https:\/\/industrialartifacts.net\/pages\/shipping\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Industrial Artifacts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44132602216491,"sku":"20668","price":395.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0194\/8170\/files\/d573e545-3b01-5b7f-8ae3-9ae26b9819c3.jpg?v=1779917546","url":"https:\/\/industrialartifacts.net\/products\/vintage-mexican-folk-art-leather-bird-mask","provider":"Industrial Artifacts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
