This Diablito Mask is a living testament to the Boruca's rich rituals and ceremonies. Stained with the deep red of achiote and adorned with sloth hair, it embodies the community's deep connection with nature and their surroundings. The spattering of chicha corn beer, consumed during the intense 3-day ceremony, adds layers of authenticity and history to this mask, making it a true artifact of Boruca culture.
