Mixtec mosaic masks are beautiful works of art made by the Mixtec people of ancient Mexico. They were often decorated with small pieces of turquoise, stone, shell, and other materials. These masks represented gods, ancestors, or important people and were used in religious and ceremonial contexts. Their detailed designs and bright colors show the great skill and craftsmanship of Mixtec artists.

In ancient Mesoamerica (particularly in Maya and Classic Veracruz cultures), an hacha (Spanish for "axe") was a critical piece of ceremonial gear associated with the Mesoamerican ballgame. While lightweight wooden versions were likely worn on the players' heavy belts during active matches, these highly detailed stone replicas were carved for ritual displays, architectural integration, or dedication ceremonies.

The Yup’ik people (plural Yupiit) are a group of Indigenous peoples native to western, southwestern, and south-central Alaska, as well as parts of the Russian Far East. Derived from the words yuk ("person") and pik ("real"), the name translates to the "real people". They form the largest single Alaska Native group. A traditional Yup'ik carved wooden dance or shaman's mask from Southwestern Alaska, featuring characteristic attached limb-like appendages and dual-pigment coloring. Often incorporates symbolic appendages (such as arms, legs, or feathers) representing spirits (Yua) or transformation narratives in ceremonial dances. Traditionally carved from local woods like spruce or cottonwood and finished with natural pigments.

Pictured is an 8th-century Maya anthropomorphic jade mosaic vessel unearthed from Burial 196 in the ancient city of Tikal, Guatemala. The artifact is built over a wooden core. Artisans attached thin jadeite plates using tiny jade pins to create a seamless mosaic surface. The detailed face and elaborate headdress represent the Maya Maize God (Ixiim). This deity symbolizes agricultural renewal, rebirth, and the eternal cycle of life. This luxury object dates to the Late Classic period. It is linked to the reign of the powerful Tikal king Yik'in Chan K'awiil. You can view similar royal collections at the Museo Nacional de Arqueología y Etnología in Guatemala City.
