[pinkribbonscars]

Spoiler below!

Another pic found on google with words ”mexican pig mask”. Didn’t find that much information where these masks were used. The only comment I found was on another pic. They were apparently used in religious dances.

The cover art pig mask seems to have a symbol on it’s forehead. Perhaps The Orb?

One thing that was going strong in Mexico at the time (1899) was spiritualism (vs spiritism), especially the Latin American version Espiritismo. Here is some Wikipedia snippets of the both

Spiritualism:

“Spiritualism is a religion postulating the belief that spirits of the dead residing in the spirit world have both the ability and the inclination to communicate with the living. Spiritism, a branch of Spiritualism developed by Allan Kardec and today found mostly in continental Europe and Latin America, especially Brazil, has emphasised reincarnation.”

“Spiritualism developed and reached its peak growth in membership from the 1840s to the 1920s, especially in English-speaking countries. By 1897, it was said to have more than eight million followers in the United States and Europe, mostly drawn from the middle and upper classes.”

So Oswald used the mask to try communicate with his dead wife? o_O
