This mask features a hand-carved face crafted by expert artisans out of volcanic lava stone from the island of Menorca in Spain. It stands out for its beautiful texture and the polychromy of its natural colors.</p>

This sculpture is crafted in wood by expert artisans from the region of Asturias in Spain.</p>
<p>The face is finely carved on a small piece of wood, keeping the tree bark intact, which gives the artwork a perfect integration with its natural environment.</p>
<p>Woodcarvers in Asturias often employ traditional techniques passed down from generation to generation. The use of hand tools, such as chisels and gouges, is common in the creation of these artworks.</p>
<p>In Spain, the highest concentration of traditional mask usage takes place in the northern and central peninsular area, especially in Galicia and Castile and León, followed by Asturias, Cantabria, the Basque Country, and Navarre.</p>
