More model informationAnthropomorphic mosaic mask with jade pieces for the face; Spondylus princeps shell and coral for the lips; and eyes inlaid with shell and obsidian. Its size suggests it may have been a royal belt ornament or a pectoral. The Maya were masters in the creation and manufacture of masks from various materials, especially jade. The smaller ones, like this one, were usually mounted on wood and could have been used as large pectorals and ornaments for royal belts.
