Shamanic Mask from the Rainforest Arawak
Located in VALENCIA, ES
Extraordinary as works of art and decoration, this mask come from the Shamanic beliefs and rituals of the Central American tribes. The Indigenous people divide the world in two, a visible world and a parallel world which is invisible. These invisible spirits are found in nature, in animals or in plants. Through the Shamans, they come into contact with the spirits of Nature. The mask allows the Shaman, during the ritual, to take on the appearance of a spirit from the invisible world and enter into communication with this world. Collaborating with those tribes for 9 years, Corinne Bally design those incredible pieces of modern art. She personally works with each artisan and adapt the design to each one's style. Halfway between a ritual object and a modern work of art, these masks are unique pieces in the world. This mask is handmade in the heart of the jungle with palm leaves. The softer parts are removed and dried. Then they are dyed with natural dyes made from fruit pulp, wood chips...
