{"product_id":"mayan-spirit-warrior-mask-jaguar","title":"Guatemalan Jaguar Warrior Mask | Ancestral Protection","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn Maya tradition, the jaguar is more than an animal. It carries associations with earth power, strength, and ancestral protection. This hand-carved mask joins a red human face with a jaguar above the brow, turning those ideas into a single, commanding figure from the Quiché Highlands of Guatemala.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarved by an unknown workshop artisan in Chichicastenango, the mask is finished in polychrome paint and varnish, with an orange-and-black jaguar, red face, and green and ochre accents. The raw interior retains tool marks and workshop character. Its construction follows highland mask-making practice, although continuous danced use is not confirmed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unknown workshop carver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chichicastenango, Quiché Highlands, Guatemala\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-carved wood with polychrome paint and varnish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Estimated late 20th to early 21st century\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright, intact paint with minor edge wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSymbolism:\u003c\/strong\u003e Strength, earth power, and ancestral protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvailability:\u003c\/strong\u003e One available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether understood as belief, folklore, or cultural memory, the jaguar gives protection and strength a face.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"From The Andes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44799683035193,"sku":"MS-0069","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/3134\/5977\/files\/mayan-spirit-warrior-mask-jaguar-3880887.jpg?v=1786789045","url":"https:\/\/fromtheandes.com\/products\/mayan-spirit-warrior-mask-jaguar","provider":"From The Andes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
