The Embera people inhabit remote villages in the Panamanian rainforest near the Columbian border. Shamans use traditional masks in healing rituals and before hunts to ensure good luck. The masks are made from two types of palm, using both sewing and knotting techniques. Each mask is one-of-a-kind and highly prized for its intricacy and creativity of design.

This baby eagle mask measures approximately 5 1/2" wide and nearly 7" long.
