Armando Silvano

Dual Spirit Jaguar Mask

$450.00

A bold representation of transformation and duality, Dual Spirit Jaguar Mask by Armando Silvano fuses myth and identity through expert woodcarving and vivid hand-painting. This powerful mask is split in design: one half painted in turquoise, navy, and gold geometric fragments evoking spirit energy, and the other natural wood, carved with expressive depth and raw texture. Together, they form a visual dialogue between human and animal, ancestral and present.
Framing the face is the fearsome jaw of a jaguar, its sculpted fangs and patterned hide symbolizing power and protection in Mesoamerican culture. Tucked alongside are sculpted elements representing a bird, serpent, and the four elements, each meticulously detailed in vibrant pigments. The result is a multi-layered artwork that honors Mayan iconography while inviting modern interpretation.
