Two Mexican Masks - The Tigre (jaguar) and the Dance of the Moors and the Christians (Moros y Cristianos) are storied symbols in popular festival dances and each have a long history. This rare tigre mask was made by Filiberto Lopez Ortiz, a mask maker of great skill who gained recognition for his talent from his native Oaxaca all the way to Mexico City, and this mask is one of the few that bears his signature. Definitely rare and collectible.
Regarding the prevalence of the jaguar image in Mexican culture, Donald Cordry, in his book Mexican Masks, states, the jaguar was and is the single most important animal to the Indians of Central and Southern Mexico. A symbol of war, these were not wars just of conquest, but "flower wars", that were waged to obtain captives to be sacrificed to the gods. He further states that the symbol of the jaguar was more than a representation of the courage and violence implicit in the animal itself, the jaguar was a god in its own right and a model for the Indian way of life.
The second mask would be used in the Dance of the Moors and Christians. Likely the first Christian dance introduced to Mexico which was recorded as far back as 1524 when it was presented to Cortes in Coatzacoalcos. It has remained one of the most popular festival dances since then, due to it's representation of good vs evil. Created as part of the Holy Crusade to convert the Mexican Indigenous groups to Christianity, it now comprises an entire group of dances with many variations that over the years have given mask makers and Santeros the ability to show off their unique artistry and talent.
Both of these masks are on display and available for purchase. Take home a rare and collectible piece of art today!
We are open Monday thru Friday 10:00 am to 5:00 pm and Saturday by appointment.

😆 We are celebrating another year in our home at 4001 North 23rd Street in McAllen and… whaaaat. 14 years already?
After 60 years in our downtown McAllen location at 601 North Main Street, the Old Main Library closed its doors on November 23, 2011. Ready for a new home, a new look, and a new direction, McAllen Public Library relocated to its current location in December 2011.
Now an award winning public library, our Main Library spans 123,000 square feet and is the largest single floor public library in the nation. 14 years in, and this building still feels like the perfect place for our community to read, learn, gather, and grow.
Thanks for helping us make this space feel like home year after year.
Ring in 2026 with unlimited video game play, a chef-curated banquet and loaded Power Cards that keep the fun going. Then watch the ball drop with the whole family and have everyone home before midnight!

Two Mexican Masks - The Tigre (jaguar) and the Dance of the Moors and the Christians (Moros y Cristianos) are storied symbols in popular festival dances and each have a long history. This rare tigre mask was made by Filiberto Lopez Ortiz, a mask maker of great skill who gained recognition for his talent from his native Oaxaca all the way to Mexico City, and this mask is one of the few that bears his signature. Definitely rare and collectible. Regarding the prevalence of the jaguar image in Mexican culture, Donald Cordry, in his book Mexican Masks, states, the jaguar was and is the single most important animal to the Indians of Central and Southern Mexico. A symbol of war, these were not wars just of conquest, but "flower wars", that were waged to obtain captives to be sacrificed to the gods. He further states that the symbol of the jaguar was more than a representation of the courage and violence implicit in the animal itself, the jaguar was a god in its own right and a model for the Indian way of life. The second mask would be used in the Dance of the Moors and Christians. Likely the first Christian dance introduced to Mexico which was recorded as far back as 1524 when it was presented to Cortes in Coatzacoalcos. It has remained one of the most popular festival dances since then, due to it's representation of good vs evil. Created as part of the Holy Crusade to convert the Mexican Indigenous groups to Christianity, it now comprises an entire group of dances with many variations that over the years have given mask makers and Santeros the ability to show off their unique artistry and talent. Both of these masks are on display and available for purchase. Take home a rare and collectible piece of art today! We are open Monday thru Friday 10:00 am to 5:00 pm and Saturday by appointment. #nuevosantandergallery #texasartgallery #mexicanfolkart #mexicanmask #mexicandancemasks #tigremask #tigré #morosycristianos

😆 We are celebrating another year in our home at 4001 North 23rd Street in McAllen and… whaaaat. 14 years already? After 60 years in our downtown McAllen location at 601 North Main Street, the Old Main Library closed its doors on November 23, 2011. Ready for a new home, a new look, and a new direction, McAllen Public Library relocated to its current location in December 2011. Now an award winning public library, our Main Library spans 123,000 square feet and is the largest single floor public library in the nation. 14 years in, and this building still feels like the perfect place for our community to read, learn, gather, and grow. Thanks for helping us make this space feel like home year after year.
