Details

A hen crowns a Maya priest in the style of the ancient civilization. The icons make reference to the Chachaac, a ritual of offerings to invoke the rains. By Oscar Rodolfo Mendoza, this dramatic mask depicts an ancient Maya priest. Modern artisans utilize the same materials and techniques as in pre-Hispanic times, achieving the red, yellow and orange colors from annatto seeds.
