Wounaan Indian Woven Magnificent Toucan Bird Mask-Panama 20021105mm

This multi-colored Toucan Parrot Mask is another example of the artist talent in Panama. It measures about 8" from the beak to the top of the head and about 6" tall. The yardstick shows the overall length to be about 12".

A trick I learned with Toucan masks is to stuff the beak with matching color cloth. It fills the beak out and the mask is twice as pretty. I don't do that with the photos because I want you to see what you are actually buying.

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.

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