This piece has exuberant carvings; a gorgeous large green snake over his chin and a green lizard on the forehead decorate the Devil’s face. Many of the Guatemalan Devil Masks have animal figures as beautifications. On December 7th people celebrate the famous “Quema del Diablo” – Burning of the Devil, a purification ritual before Christmas Celebrations. Dancers dressed with red and black costumes will dance around the bonfires. The character is not necessarily evil; some pieces will be decorated with diverse symbols to represent different kind of personalities, good or evil. Yellow painted nose and a blue beard give a dramatic contrast to the piece.Please notice that the price includes FREE USPS Shipping.
