the first and third ones were made by a famous mask maker in Michoacan, Mexico. The second one i bought at a yard sale years ago, and i don't know where it's from. i think it might be south pacific or hawaiian. does anyone know?

The one in the middle is also from Mexico, possibly Michoacán.
thank you very much mawamamama! that makes sense. now i remember seeing these in mexico. i don't know why i didn't recognize it before.
the green mask is a more recent one, but both it and the red one were made by Don Antonio in Uruapan, Michoacan. He's a very well-known and talented maskmaker. the red one is supposedly made w/ all natural paints made from insects, plant material and minerals using ancient Purempecha techniques.
