Boruca Masks

The Boruca tribe in Costa Rica is celebrated for its vibrant masks, meticulously carved from balsa wood and adorned with intricate paintings that depict their rich cultural heritage. These masks, traditionally used in the "Juego de los Diablitos" (Dance of the Little Devils) festival, showcase symbolic designs representing nature, animals, and ancestral stories. Each mask is a unique work of art, reflecting the tribe's deep connection to their traditions and the surrounding environment.
