Aztec Masks /

In Pre-columbian Mexico, Aztec masks followed a tradition of many cultures. The art form was ancient, and had religious connections. Masks were created in a variety of ways for a number of purposes, but there's one thing that may surprise you about a typical type of mask - they were often made for display, not to be worn. That's why you'll often see masks with no eye-holes, or masks placed on stone or on skulls.

Art Facts Wednesday: There used to be a paint color called Mummy Brown that was made out of ground up Egyptian mummies. It was a favorite color of the Pre-Raphaelites, but when people found out what it was made of some of them stopped using it. It was manufactured until the 1960s, when the ancient mummy supply was finally tapped out. Martin Drolling / Interior of a Kitchen / 1815.
