In the past ten years, museums and private collections in the western United States have been acquiring masks of a rather distinctive type, which combine a hide helmet with a carved and painted wooden face. These masks, which have been variously identified as Yaqui, Mayo, and “from Northern Mexico,” in reality represent a style of mask local to the Mayo Indians of the lower Rio Fuerte in the Mexican state of Sinaloa. At least some of them are made by part-time specialists
