Details

Guatemalan artisan couple Juan and Carolina (and family) carve these brightly-colored jaguar masks traditionally used for the "misnamed" Dance of the Tiger in Mexico and Central America. Although this version is decorative, it is still hand carved from pine, hand painted and decorated with tufts of maguey fiber, like those created for ceremonial purposes. The finish is a traditional rustic wax.
