AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Impressive handcrafted mosaic mask, made in Teotihuacan in the second half of the 20th century and inspired by pre-Columbian ceremonial masks from the Teotihuacan tradition.

The mask is assembled from polished natural stone pieces: obsidian, various types of jasper in red and earth tones, serpentine, and calcite. The rich and unusual color combination, together with the high-gloss finish, creates a striking visual effect with great depth and contrast.

Condition
Excellent condition. No breaks, cracks, or restorations. All inlay pieces are intact and stable.
