âLion,â mask
With feline features this ancient personage shares the abilities of the big cats that hunt their prey in the rugged sierra. His visage is human, yet scored with parallel lines suggesting claw marks. Ismael Diaz creates this enigmatic mask in tribute to the pre-Hispanic people who populated Mexico before the conquest. The talented artisan began working with clay as a young boy. Aided by his wife, he casts the clay in molds before firing the piece and applying acrylic paints. The rustic texture is achieved by baths of earth, giving the mask an authentically antique appearance. Because each mask is individually hand-crafted, there may be slight variations in color and dimensions. However, this only enhances and confirms the originality of the piece.
