Descripción

This beautifully crafted ceramic ritual mask is inspired by the ceremonial art of the ancient Paracas culture, one of the oldest civilizations of pre-Columbian Peru. Featuring a bold combination of sacred geometry, feline imagery, and symbolic polychromy, this piece captures the spirit and symbolism of ancestral Andean belief systems.

The mask is painted in Paracas earth tones—deep red, ochre yellow, off-white, black, and grey—layered with precise dotted circles, vertical bands, and frontal iconography representing a divine or ancestral figure wearing a headdress. The overall visual composition reflects the cosmological worldview of the Paracas, where masks were used to mediate between this world and the spiritual realm.

Flowing down each side of the face are vertical “tear-like” designs formed by stacked blocks of color and concentric dot patterns, ending in stylized feline heads, a powerful totemic image in Paracas art symbolizing strength, protection, and divine transformation.

The back of the mask is smoothed for mounting or display, and there are small perforations at the sides—suggesting it may have been worn during ritual dance, burial ceremonies, or shamanic rites. The elongated face, delicate nose shaping, and minimalistic mouth give the mask a contemplative, almost otherworldly presence.

Collectors of pre-Columbian or indigenous art
