Decorative mask made according to an ancestral ritual from natural palm leaves dyed with vegetable pigments. A unique piece stemming from the craftsmanship of the Wounnan and Embera tribes.

The masks are crafted as for a ritual, following a long and meticulous artisanal process.
They are made from palm leaves harvested from the forest, from a common variety of palm called Chunga.

The tenderest parts of the leaves are first harvested, then dried before being bleached. Once prepared, the leaves are assembled in skeins and dyed using vegetable dyes.
The pigments are obtained from fruit pulp, wood chips, seeds, leaves, or even roots, sometimes requiring several successive baths.

After this long preparatory work, the artisan then begins her creative work. This requires a great artistic sense as well as unparalleled craftsmanship, passed down and held exclusively by the women of the Wounnan and Embera tribes in Central America.

Each mask is a unique piece, designed as a strong decorative object, symbolic and deeply connected to nature.
