A buccal mask is a mask covering the
buccal area and mouth. Often the mask will also cover the nose, in which case it may also be referred to as a naso-buccal mask.
Buccal masks were a common feature in some ancient
Mesoamerican cultures and are portrayed on
Aztec,
Zapotec, and
Epi-Olmec culture artwork.
