Attribution - NonCommercial - ShareAlike 4.0 InternationalCatalogue: Light-coloured raffia forms the base material for the jaguar's mask suit (Kobéua: Yaui). Apart from the sewn-on bonnet, which is supported by an internally woven cap made of halved cane strips, and the inserted sleeves, this beautiful and effective object is made of one piece. Characteristic of all jaguar masks is the circular painting, which corresponds to the animal's fur. The torso is additionally adorned with necklace-like decoration. Four cross-like stripes adorn the neck of the mask. Two arara feathers protrude from the plait-like appendage. Index card : mask; depicting the jaguar. Cob.: Jaui. S: 119
