Product Description:
Beaded female mask on a papier mache backing by Higinio Hernandez featuring a distinctive marra (Huichol for deer ) design on the crown. Patterns burst forth from the black background the various sizes creating an unusual sense of depth. Bright hues representative of the Huichol culture energize the piece as floral motifs inspired by the peyote plant are elaborated in incredible detail. The careful labor required to create these masks makes it an inspiring addition to any interior decorative repertoire. Care instructions: The tiny chaquira beads are held into place using a traditional process with Campeche beeswax rather than glue. It is recommended that the items be placed far away from heat sources as it may cause the wax to melt and the beads to loosen. Also do not place under direct light as it may cause the wax to dry up.
