I was surprised. That’s a CERAMIC mask. It seems amazing to me that it’s in such good shape.
Interesting how it is so flat on the top. Almost as if it were meant to be a vase or pot. Or maybe they stood on their heads alot [;)
Interesting photo!
Pottery, once fired, lasts forever. It can be broken, but never fully obliterated (unless pulverized). It’s amazing what has survived the ages….
What a lovely mask. I love Pre-Columbian art!
What a fascinating and beautiful piece!
Did people actually wear this mask? Could they see out of it?
It’s such a graceful shape – really lovely!
yeah…I want to know if they actually WORE it…
I have some Mexican and Columbian masks made of wood…that are wearable…but pottery?
What a nice little piece of history.
It looks ceremonial. Always curious about ancient cultures and their rituals.
I saw this mask when we visited the Field Museum. They have some amazing artifacts!
