Brazilian Ritual Mask

Brazil

The Brazilian Ritual Mask is from the Tupe village on the Amazon River. The large scales along the perimeter of the mask are from the arapaima, the largest freshwater fish in the world. Its teeth are from the piranha, the whiskers and eyebrows are catfish bones, and red açaí seeds form the eyes.

This entity appears in the story “16. Peace on Earth”.
