Description
It used to adorn Mayan king now it hangs in Museo del Oro in Bogota; 24 karat, hand-made, stunning. Two security guards with Uzis frisked us upon entering. Funny thing, we were the only ones frisked. Granted, my husband looks a little bit like a criminal, but why did they frisk me? Either they were overzealous or plain bored. Regardless, it felt good to be considered dangerous.

“Great capture of this ancient mask with such remarkable details that you have been able to get out of the mask. Great idea at making the background all black so that the viewer could enjoy the pure gold finish to this mask. Excellent job. John T.
