Celebrating Mesoamerica's ancient cultures, artisans from the Angel Cerón Artisan Association create an original mask based on a lifelong study of Mexico's pre-Hispanic cultures. A stylized image of Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent, crowns a skeleton mask. The bony skull emerges from the fangs of a fierce cat. With his light hair and blue eyes, conquistador Hernán Cortés was thought by some Aztec soothsayers to be Quetzalcoatl himself. This facilitated the downfall of the Aztec empire.

This piece is beautiful, sturdy, heavy and an absolute winner when it comes to conversation starters. Delivery was SUPER FAST and came with a personalized thank you note from the artist. Novica and the attached artists will always get my business when it comes to stylized pieces like this. Love it!
