A:<\/strong>\u00a0 The\u00a0 Amazon rain forest is huge, taking up about half of the continent. There are still a number of indigenous Indians living in the remote areas, though many of the tribes have been killed or assimilated.<\/p>\n

Yes, I am very interested in the mask. Your piece is different than any I’ve seen so I won’t try to identify the tribe. It is authentic and and has those wonderful features you mentioned. Most collectors of Amazon folk art would want to have it.\u00a0 You could contact some dealer who specializes in Amazon material for more info. Good luck!\u00a0 A\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
