Some call it folklore. Some call it superstition. In Maya culture, the jaguar has long carried associations with power, strength, and protection. Carved by the Aj Canil Family of Chichicastenango, Guatemala, this red jaguar belongs to a living highland tradition in which an animal figure can carry meaning far beyond decoration.

Hand-carved in wood and painted in saturated red with blue, teal, and yellow rosettes, black whisker lines, white lash marks, and an open jaw with two elongated fangs, the mask has unmistakable presence. Tool marks remain visible on the reverse, along with wear from use and an original pink cord consistent with festival handling.
