Guajajara Wood Mask

By combining wood carving and carving techniques with artistic painting in an aged tone, the artisans from Minas Gerais at Curral da Cor produced a decorative mask inspired by the Quajajara indigenous tribe with a vintage aesthetic. The term that means “owners of the headdress”, showing the potency and power of the most numerous Brazilian indigenous ethnic group, can be replaced by Tenetehára, which symbolizes “true human beings”.

The traditional body painting with ancient ethnic drawings - very common in rituals and political manifestations - and the ornaments that make up the feather art of the tribe are represented in this work in an artistic way with rich details. The wooden mask is a unique piece from the Minas Gerais atelier, elevated by a fixed base that makes it stand out when placed in the decoration of furniture surfaces.
