Ceremonial Jaguar Mask, brown painted with white dots all over. Prominent carved teeth and a big red tongue highlight the mouth-opened ferocious feline. Black painted eyebrows, low-relieve carved gesture wrinkles and ears give the piece an outstanding expression. Notice the prominent nose and cheekbones carvings that symbolize strength. The backside patina denotes wear; a grey painted “1” (number one) was made by the former owner to mark the piece. Please notice that the price includes FREE USPS Shipping!
