										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>ENGLISH</strong><br />
This ceramic mask is crafted by artisans from Santiago de Chile who mold and hand-paint masks inspired by pre-Hispanic Gods. It stands out for its beautiful texture and the polychrome glazing, as well as the symbolic figures sculpted on the face.</p>
<p>Before the arrival of the Spanish to America, the region we now know as Chile was inhabited by various indigenous peoples, each with their own beliefs and mythologies.</p>
<p>One of the gods of these indigenous peoples is Ngenechen, considered the supreme god by the Mapuche people.</p>
<p>Ngenechen represents divinity and the creative force of the universe. According to Mapuche mythology, he is responsible for the creation of humanity and for maintaining balance in nature.</p>
