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 Wounnans and Emberas tribes.

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

The tenderest parts of the palms are first harvested, then dried before being bleached. Once prepared, the leaves are assembled into bundles and dyed using vegetable dyes.
The pigments are obtained from fruit pulp, wood chips, seeds, leaves, or even roots, often requiring several successive baths to achieve the desired shade.

After this long preparation work, the artisan begins her creative work. This requires a great artistic sense as well as an incomparable know-how, passed down and held exclusively by the women of the Wounnans and Emberas tribes in Central America.

Each mask is a unique piece, carrying meaning, material, and memory, conceived as a strong and symbolic decorative object.
