Description:

|
The Kamayurá speaking people live in the Mato Grosso region of Brazil, specifically in the Upper Xingu area. They numbered about 600 individuals in 2014. From the village of Rio Xingu. This mask represents those worn by spirits when they occupy the position of humans. It also evokes by its shape and its "beard" of fibers the un-representable character of the "bodies" of non-humans.
