Wounaan Indian Woven Magnificent Puppy Dog Mask-Panama 20020402mm

This multi-colored Puppy Dog Mask is another example of the artist talent in Panama. It measures about 14-15" from the beak to the back of the head and about 10" across. The quality in this mask is most evident in the changing of colors to get the multi-colored look. This is extremely time consuming. I tried to use the photos to tell the story. When I first looked at it I couldn't decide what the artist had in mind. Then the ears told me Puppy Dog.

These masks are woven by the same artists that make the famous Panama baskets.
