Traditionally worn by the Maya to bring ancestral stories to life through dramatic dance, these masks are now lovingly carved from wood and hand-painted as enduring works of decor. Each mask carries the weight of narrative — from origin myths to the painful chapters of the Spanish conquest — transforming history into tactile, visual poetry.
This particular piece depicts the dignified face of a Maya leader, crowned with a layered headdress that features a jaguar’s visage and the Quetzal, the radiant “serpent bird.”
Every element is rich with cultural symbolism: the jaguar for strength and night-world power, the Quetzal for freedom and divine connection, and other motifs that echo the cosmology and social order of the Maya people.
Measuring 5" x 6" x 7" and weighing approximately 1.5 lb, this mask is perfectly scaled for display. Finished for hanging, it makes a striking wall adornment — a timeless, premium accent that brings story
