Wooden mask making is one of the best known Guatelmatecan crafts. During the Mayan period, masks played a vital role in daily life and were used in religious rituals, civil ceremonies and even in wars against rival tribes. Today they are part of their cultural heritage and are widely used in traditional dances and festivities.

This wooden mask represents a human skull, a basic element of Mesoamerican cultures. It is made of pine wood and hand painted in bright colours. The back is painted in black and has a wire to hang it up.

As this is a handmade product, there may be slight differences in colour between the product and the image on the website.
