Masking It Up As I Go Along

There was an article in the arts section of the Times today about an exhibition at the British Museum called "Peru: A Journey In Time".
I really like the first paragraph of the review of the exhibition by Rachel Campbell-Johnston so I have included it here:
"What do you know about Darkest Peru? Don't say Paddington, Incas and llamas, condors and cooked guinea pigs are other hot contenders. With the first two of these you will find yourself on more fertile ground. But if you assume that a big show about Peru will be largely about Michu Pichu, prepare to be proved pretty much entirely wrong."
The article goes on to explain that the historical story the exhibition tells begins around 1500BC and ends in the 16th Century with the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors. That is over 3,000 years of pre-Columbian archaeology.
The Inca empire, for all the splendour of Machu Pichu, only occupied the last 150 years of this period. The exhibition includes representations of llamas, fish, white-tailed deer, thorny oysters, whales, hummingbirds, jaguars and a mythical assortment of fabulous hybrids along with warrior vessels and funerary masks. This takes you through the cultures of at least a dozen earlier indigenous peoples: the Chavin , Nasca  and Moche, Piracas, Chimu and Wari. Such fascinating stuff!
Today's image is my attempt at an ancient mask - it's actually a clay mask I bought at a school sale (I was an odd child!), a mop head (for the hair), two candle holders (for the eyes) and a piece of cloth I found languishing behind the sofa. I don't think it will make it into the exhibition somehow!
