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

OK, POP QUIZ for all the bird nerds! 🤓 ❓ What's an IRRUPTION? ❓ And do you know why experts are predicting the best winter FINCH IRRUPTION in five years?! Don't worry, we aren't suddenly going to be seeing fountains of molten birds—it's not that kind of eruption. 🐦🌋🙃 An irruption is a sudden forced migration of animals, often due to food-supply fluctuations. This winter, slim pickings in Canadian forests are likely to drive finches elsewhere in search of food. It remains to be seen if we'll get more finches this far south in the Valley, but we could get "lucky" (though not so much from the birds' POV)! Either way, it's a fascinating phenomenon! To learn more, listen in on the latest #NatureCentered Podcast . 🎙️ 🎧 Tune in wherever you get your podcasts or on our website: https://mcallen.wbu.com/nature-centered-onewbu For an even deeper dive, check out the The Finchmasters - Finch Research Network Winter Finch Forecast: https://finchnetwork.org/winter-finch-forecast-2025-2026 Happy birding, from the RGV's friendly backyard bird feeding experts! ❤️🐦 #NatureCentered #wbumcallen #rgvbirds #backyardbirding #mcallentexas #riograndevalley #Riograndevalleytexas #birding #birds #shoplocal #supportsmallbusinessowners #nativeplants #gardening

UPDATE: so it looks like CGC has capped the Todd McFarlane signing. Which is unfortunate considering they had the deadline until December 3rd and they haven’t made any public announcement. The Todd McFarlane signing isn’t an option to be added on the website anymore so we have no choice but to think that it’s capped. We’ve sent them messages earlier this week and haven’t gotten a response but it seems to be an issue with everyone. We apologize for this inconvenience. Due to our large amount of submissions, we were able to get in a good amount sent out but a few weren’t able to make the cut unfortunately, and those customers were already contacted to get a refund or credit (your choice). This has never happened before so it’s a bit new to us that they capped submissions and haven’t made any public announcement nor respond to our messages. They did recently make a post with upcoming deadlines and McFarlane’s is no longer listed. Just strange that they haven’t said anything specifically about the McFarlane signing considering how high in demand it is. If anything gets updated, or if it reopens, we will let you all know. Thank you guys for your understanding.
