Details

Kukulcan, Quetzalcoatl, Gucumatz and Ehecatl are variants of the iconic feathered serpent god of several Mesoamerican cultures and the inspiration behind Mexican artisan Morneo's extraordinary wall mask. Handcrafted from papier mache, he skillfully paints the spectacular mask in the vibrant folk art style of alebrijes, with their characteristic vivid hues, and finishes it with coats of lacquer for protection and a glossy look. This unique artwork will infuse your space with a burst of colour and great cultural significance.
