Artisans Juan and Carolina draw inspiration from the traditional Guatemalan Burning of the Devil feast for this magical hand-carved mask. Sturdy pine wood and local agave fibers combine with hand-painted details to create an eye-catching mix of textures and patterns that give this piece plenty of character. The ears and horns are carved separately and are dismountable for safe and easy transport. Every 7th of December, Guatemalans grab everything that they are ready to let go of that year and put it in massive bonfires for the Burning of the Devil feast. The celebrations culminate with the Dance of the 24 Devils where figures wearing masks like this one perform theatrical dances that mix native Mayan and colonial Spanish traditions.

This beautiful statue will hang in the foyer with various other statues against a light blue grasscloth. This stunning piece creates beauty and a reverence that will be enjoyed for years to come.
