content: From card: "Grotesque helmet mask made of sheepskins sewed with yucca. Large nose, ears and a fringe representing hair. "Mask of the Kosheres or Clowns who dived the people by mocking at the Mexicans in the Matachines dance. Sometimes it is a parody on the Mexican one but the ridiculous personage always appears. The dance is sometimes held in the church when the priest is away.""
