Sticking its tongue out while smiling, this mask captures the daring, mischievous nature of spider monkeys. Jose Canil carves the mask of pinewood inspired by the Maya legend that tells of the second destruction of humanity. Accordingly, the so-called wood men and tzité women who survived were transformed into spider monkeys. To the ancient Maya, these monkeys are the patrons of dancers, musicians and artists. The mask's face preserves the wood's natural grain and is designed to hang by an agave rope.

This piece reminds me of earlier works by JOCARA: a rustic and individual quality. It could be a roadside icon made a devout resident.

Es un Belén precioso y muy original!! Tal cual en las fotos o quizás, mejor. El detalle de los brazos articulados es genial. Sus grandes dimensiones me encantan. El hecho de que sean una gallina y un tucán los animales que acompañan el misterio es muy original. Los detalles de la pintura preciosos. Estoy muy contento. Uno más para mi colección. Llegó pronto y en perfectas condiciones. Muy bien empaquetado. Gracias!!
