Pre-Columbian art encompasses the artistic traditions of indigenous peoples of the Americas before the arrival of Christopher Columbus in 1492. These cultures, including the Maya, Aztec, and Inca, developed sophisticated societies with rich artistic expressions in pottery, sculpture, and metalwork. Masks, in particular, played significant roles in religious ceremonies, rituals, and as symbols of power or identity.
Terracotta masks, often found in regions like Colombia, were frequently used in funerary rites or as votive offerings. The Tairona civilization, for instance, known for its intricate goldwork, also produced distinctive ceramic pieces. While these specific masks appear to be vintage reproductions, they draw inspiration from these ancient traditions, reflecting a continued appreciation for the aesthetic and cultural significance of pre-Columbian art.
