Handwoven by Emberá artisans in Panama, the sculptural face combines symbolic markings, upright ears, and dense fiber fringe to create a commanding presence rooted in rainforest storytelling and ancestral memory. The jaguar and wild cat forms represent awareness, strength, and spiritual protection within the living world of the forest. 11 inches wide, 11 inches tall. One of a kind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:15px;line-height:1.8;color:#6B4F3A;margin:0 0 16px\"\u003eCreated using finely shredded fibers from the chunga palm, each mask is shaped entirely by hand through traditional coiling techniques closely related to Wounaan basketry. The fibers are split, prepared, and dyed using natural pigments derived from seeds, roots, and leaves before weaving begins. The dense palm fiber fringe and intricate facial geometry require exceptional precision to maintain symmetry, structure, and expression throughout the form, resulting in a richly textured work that holds its shape without internal support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"height:1px;background:#EDE8DF;margin:0 0 20px\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"font-size:11px;font-weight:600;letter-spacing:0.12em;text-transform:uppercase;color:#2A1F14;margin:0 0 10px\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp style=\"font-size:13px;line-height:1.9;color:#4A3828;margin:0\"\u003e\n    \u003cstrong style=\"font-weight:500;color:#2A1F14\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11″ W × 11″ H\u003cbr\u003e\n\n    \u003cstrong style=\"font-weight:500;color:#2A1F14\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chunga palm fiber, natural dyes\u003cbr\u003e\n\n    \u003cstrong style=\"font-weight:500;color:#2A1F14\"\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Handwoven in Panama by Emberá artisans\u003cbr\u003e\n\n    \u003cstrong style=\"font-weight:500;color:#2A1F14\"\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e One of one · SKU SPM-3641\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"height:1px;background:#EDE8DF;margin:0 0 20px\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:13px;line-height:1.75;color:#6B4F3A;margin:0 0 16px\"\u003eWall-mounted.
