It contains a wealth of information about mask-making and mask use, describing materials and techniques, regional and ethnic variations, and shamanistic, symbolic, and social functions. A detailed description accompanies each of the hundreds of full-color illustrations. The late Donald Cordy was an artist, designer, and well-known investigator in the ethnography of Mexican Indians.
