This mask is 11 inches tall, 5\u00bc inches wide, and 6 inches deep.<\/p>\n The comb has some damage.<\/p>\n Here is the hen.<\/p>\n As with the rooster, this mask has no place for a forehead cross.<\/p>\n This mask is 8 inches tall, 5\u00bd inches wide, and 3\u00bd inches deep.<\/p>\n This is my tag. I usually remove the tag to provide a cleaner view of the back.<\/p>\n Next is a colorful Parrot Pascola mask<\/p>\n There is no forehead cross, but there is an interesting feathered crest carved in relief on the brow.<\/p>\n There are many colors.<\/p>\n One finds no sign of a chin cross.<\/p>\n This mask is 8 inches tall, 5\u00bd inches wide, and 4\u00bc inches deep.<\/p>\n The back is typical for this carver, and unstained from use.<\/p>\n One might think that the next mask portrays an eagle, but the tag states that this is another parrot.<\/p>\n This one has a forehead cross.<\/p>\n This is a dramatic profile.<\/p>\n This parrot has a forehead cross.<\/p>\n This mask is 7 inches tall, 5\u00bd inches wide, and 3\u00be inches deep.<\/p>\n The back meets Crisencio’s usual standard.<\/p>\n This large wood duck dates to 2006.<\/p>\n It has no forehead cross.<\/p>\n The wood has split\u00a0 in the middle of the forehead.

Such splits are rare for his masks.<\/p>\n There are no crosses.<\/p>\n This mask is 8 inches tall, 5\u00bd inches wide, and 5\u00bc inches deep.<\/p>\n The back is unstained.<\/p>\n Now we will compare two more ducks. The smaller one dates to 2008 while the larger one with the bright yellow bill was carved in 2010.<\/p>\n When Tom Kolaz purchased the larger mask from Crisencio in 2010, Crisencio informed Tom that this mask depicts a duck that lives in the trees along the banks of the Rio Yaqui.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n There is no forehead cross on this larger duck. The rim design depicts feathers.<\/p>\n This mask is 8\u00bc inches tall, 5\u00bd inches wide, and 3 inches deep.<\/p>\n The back is unstained.<\/p>\n Te smaller duck follows.<\/p>\n The smaller duck does have a forehead cross.<\/p>\n Slits under the eyes, which are very difficult to see, permit vision for the wearer.<\/p>\n This duck has a typical forehead cross for this carver, and a scalloped rim.<\/p>\n There is a silly expression.<\/p>\n This mask is 7\u00bd inches tall, 5\u00bd inches wide, and 3 inches deep.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
