Copper mask, "Ai Apaec with Ritual Crown"
Eyes rimmed with golden rays, the god Ai Apaec wears a ritual headdress. Crowned by the sun itself, it is adorned with birds that dangle alluringly from either side; splendid earrings confirm the status of this divine personage. Ana María Enciso crafts this mask from copper and bronze treated with galvanic solutions. A hook at the back facilitates hanging.
