TIGUA MASK

TIGUA MASKS

Tigua masks. My favorite craft is the Tigua mask since it is a very striking craft

which represents a lot of our culture.In the Andean community of Tigua, in the

canton of Pujilí, in the province of Cotopaxi, there are artisans and artisans who

are dedicated to the elaboration of pine wood masks, which once carved are

painted by hand. Many of the masks usually represent Andean and jungle

animals, as well as the Devil Huma and characters from the popular festivals of

northern Ecuador.These masks can be used as something decorative since it is

very striking, I like it a lot since they are made made of good material and they

represent a lot to the Andean cultures for which it is highly recommended as it

draws attention and generates a lot of curiosity.
