Deeply textured cedar wood mask inspired by Mesoamerican

This is a striking, deeply textured wood carving heavily inspired by Mesoamerican (Mayan or Aztec) iconography.

- This sculpture can stand firmly in a flat surface, or it can be hand on wall. It comes with a strong hook ready to be attached to a wall.
- 100% hand carved by an Artesano from Chiapas Mexico.

Here is a detailed breakdown of its features:
Material and Finish: The piece is carved from wood and utilizes a dramatic two-tone finish. The high points of the carving retain a natural, light blonde wood tone, while the deep recesses and negative spaces are stained or burned a dark brown/black. This high contrast dramatically highlights the intricate line work and gives the piece a bold, three-dimensional depth.

The Central Face: The mask features a stylized face with deep-set, expressive eyes and heavy eyelids. The nose is prominent, bridging down with a classic stepped-geometric pattern. The lips are full and slightly parted, with a stylized element protruding downwards onto the chin, which is decorated with a swirling, petal-like motif. The cheeks are heavily textured with both organic, sweeping curves and rigid, stepped-fret geometric designs.

The Headdress and Spirit Animals: The top of the mask serves as an elaborate headdress featuring two distinct spirit animals:

Left Side: A beautifully detailed bird, resembling a hummingbird, is carved with a textured wing and a long, curved beak that points downward toward a circular, sunburst-like rosette in the center of the forehead.

Right Side: A fierce feline head, likely a jaguar, emerges with its mouth open in a roar, displaying carved teeth and spotted textures.

Side Adornments: The right side of the face is flanked by a large, circular ear flare (a traditional Mesoamerican ear spool) with a geometric border, above cascading feather or leaf-like shapes. The left side features long, sweeping vertical lines resembling stylized hair or a feathered headdress hanging down.
