Masks

For the ancient Maya, jade was more precious than gold, and masks were the faces of kings, gods and ancestors. Each replica in this collection follows a famous original: the Tikal mosaic mask, King Pakal’s funerary mask from Palenque, the Sun God of Rio Azul, the nobleman of Naranjo, and the Olmec mask of Arroyo Pesquero. Every piece is carved by hand in Guatemala from natural jadeite jade certified by the GIA or Guatemala’s Department of Mining, with permission from the Ministry of Culture. From miniature sizes to museum-style pieces, they are made for collectors, lovers of Mesoamerican history, and anyone who wants a piece of that heritage at home.
