This radiant hand-carved mask captures the whimsical and spiritual essence of Guatemalan festival tradition. Shaped from native wood and painted in vivid hues of crimson, lime, turquoise, and midnight black, the mask represents a rabbit—a symbol of agility, curiosity, and lunar magic in Mesoamerican lore.
From the exaggerated upright ears to the hypnotic symmetry of its circular motifs, every detail is intentional. The surface is etched and painted by hand, revealing the unmistakable marks of artisan touch and time. Whether worn in dance or displayed on a wall, it pulses with the rhythm of Guatemala’s living culture.
Each piece is singular. No molds. No duplicates. Just one artisan, one block of wood, and one story brought to life.
