Mexicas - A Story Behind the Masks
Masks were always part of Aztecs (Mexicas) rituals and religious ceremonies, and were thought to be powerful and prestigious. Aztec masks were used as ornaments, worn as part of a ritual, or as a death mask. During the Spanish conquest, one of Mexico’s most magnificent masks were developed by indigenous people to imitate Spaniards face features as a way to mock their oppressors, and perform during festivals. Carnival traditions are preserved and celebrated annually, but only very few skilled artisans continue the traditional art of mask carving. #SubscribetoWoodCulture 🌳 ❤ / woodculture #SubscribetoWorldWoodDay 🌱 ❤ https://goo.gl/yXyxyg 🌳 ☑World Wood Day Foundation: worldwoodday.org ☑WWD Facebook: facebook.com/worldwoodday ☑WWD Instagram: www.instagram.com/worldwoodday 🌳 ✎IWCS: www.iwcs.com ✎Wood Culture: www.woodculture.org ✎Facebook: www.facebook.com/internationalwoodculturesociety Copyright © 2015 International Wood Culture Society.
