Brazilian Bloco da Lama mask
Paraty, Brazil 1980's
Authentic piece of Brazilian carnival heritage with this original 1980s Bloco da Lama mask from Paraty, Brazil.
Bloco da Lama ("Mud Block") is one of Paraty's most iconic and exuberant carnival traditions. During the annual festivities, participants cover themselves in natural mud from the mangroves and parade through the historic streets in joyful, primal celebration. This rare vintage mask captures the raw, expressive spirit of that era: bold, earthy, and unapologetically theatrical.
Crafted in the 1980's, this mask reflects the handmade character and artistic individuality typical of the period. Its striking features and organic aesthetic embody the energy of Brazil's street carnival culture, making it far more than a decorative object, it is a cultural artifact.
height mask: 36cm height incl stand 48cm
