Nencatacoa Ritual Gold Mask
This hammered gold mask(600–1600 AD)represents Nencatacoa, Muisca god of weaving, art, and festivity. Revered as a divine fox or bear, he protected textile workers, goldsmiths, and musicians. Masks like this were worn in rituals celebrating fertility, creation, and communal joy—especially with chicha-fueled dancing honoring the spirit of artistic life.
