Unique Leather Wild Cat Mask, "Spotted Jaguar"
With its shining, reflective eyes, the jaguar was believed by pre-Hispanic man to possess a connection to the spirit world. An endangered species, the spotted yellow cat still finds a home in Brazil's Amazon rainforest. Marcílio Barroco depicts the magnificent feline in a bold carnival mask. He molds it from leather and paints it by hand before attaching an elastic band. The piece is signed with the artist's characteristic symbol.

"Fun Festival Accessory"
Wearing this to an outdoor festival in previous years made me feel part of the celebration. It is lightweight enough to be comfortable and sturdy enough to last many years as a decorative surprise on your wall.

"Nice"
Classy in its simplicity. Feels like it could have come from a Fifties Halloween party, eh?

"EXCITED WIFE LOVES THIS MASK"
this mask is so amazing. well made & the headband is the elastic type that slips over the head. I personally wouldve probably liked seeing a ribbon to tie it around the head instead, but either way its a great piece that my wife is happy to have in her panda collection.

"Quality product"
I am so pleased with the masks made by Marcilio. I own a number of them. The leather is smoother than I would have ever thought possible and makes the mask highly useable without fear of breakage by dropping, etc. Thanks for such amazing work, Mr. Barroco!
