Mặt nạ Totonac - Mexico, Châu Mỹ

🇲🇽 Welcome to Mexico! 🎭 

This model is a little different from what we usually do in MiniWorld3D. Instead of a landmark or famous building, this is part of a series of objects representing art & design of the world. Together, they decorate a themed room in a miniature mansion!

This model recreates a clay mask made by the native cultures of the Gulf of Mexico before the arrival of Europeans and represents the Americas!

Other objects in this series include:

• Amazigh Rug - North Africa
• Boomerang - Australia
• Dala Horse - Sweden, Europe
• Korean Fan - Asia

You can find the full project here, the modular rooms mansion is designed by @skip_per07, main 3D prints and photography by @maisonlumiere_3d using Polymaker3D filaments, and this specific object and everything in the MiniWorld3D travel-themed room was designed by Dany Sánchez. Other renowned designers have decorated other themed rooms!
 

About the Totonac Mask

The Totonac are an indigenous people of Mexico who reside in the states of Veracruz, Puebla, and Hidalgo, near the Gulf of Mexico coast. They are one of the possible builders of the pre-Hispanic city of El Tajín. They are somewhat contemporary with other civilizations in Mesoamerica like the known Aztecs and Mayans, but differ in language, religion, and other practices. One distinct legacy of their culture is their clay masks, known for depicting smiling or laughing subjects (Source).

MiniWorld3D is happy to bring this cultural model to life as a homage to the people of Mexico. This model was created from scratch by hand and brain in parametric software to ensure printability, using photographs to create a beautiful and stylized version. Please give credit, it's all about spreading culture!
