Description

This marquis character from Dance of the Marquis is one of the dances that began after the arrival of the Spanish probably in the 18th Century. The seemingly bald head, pink skin, sideburns and well-trimmed mustache, along with its small, red mouth, give the mask a dandyish appearance.
