Woven Animal Masks
Embera woven masks are vibrant and skillfully crafted art pieces created by the Embera people, an indigenous community native to the rainforests of Panama and Colombia. These masks are woven from natural fibers, primarily the chunga palm, and are colored with natural dyes derived from local plants and fruits.
The masks are a striking reflection of Embera artistry, spirituality, and connection to the natural world, each one telling a story through its intricate patterns and designs. Each mask stands as a unique, meaningful artifact that captures the spirit and resilience of the Embera people.
