Jaguar, Warrior & Spirit Mask

$350.00

A true collector’s piece, the Jaguar, Warrior & Spirit Mask is a complex, hand-carved wood sculpture that weaves together three powerful identities into a single, commanding form. A detailed jaguar head—painted in golden yellow with black rosettes and piercing green eyes—rests atop a tri-faced mask: one side representing a stoic warrior, the other a skeletal visage, divided by a central human face. Each layer symbolizes strength, mortality, and ancestral legacy.
The precise carving and colorwork create a sense of motion and story. The jaguar, sacred in Mesoamerican culture, represents protection, courage, and the connection to the underworld. The split design highlights transformation: from life, to death, to spiritual power. Gold-painted geometric lines, round earrings, and layered textures make this mask not just decorative, but deeply ceremonial in tone.
