Vuvi mask carved in light Ceiba wood, with traces of kaolin, natural pigments, and resins. It appears to have been abandoned and shows several signs of dehydration and some cracks on the back, which fortunately do not affect the front of the mask. Old patina from use and time, with dust crusted into the surface.
