Whisper From the Wood

This picture of the mask in not the mask from our fast write, however it is sort of similar. "I am a mask that belongs to a young Native Dancer. His uncle is a shaman and he was the individual who carved me from a piece of driftwood. My shape is simple because my owner is still learning to dance. I am not supposed to be a mask that is a collector's item. Now, my original owner is gone and grown into a man. He most likely has forgotten about me. I was supposed to be burnt like my other mask ancestors traditionally were. Now, I am trapped between two worlds being displayed on a wall." That was my fast write. After sharing what the mask spoke to us, I felt dingy making the guess I did. The mask that was shown to the class is from Belize. I should have guessed that from the writing on the back of the it. I did not know people about the ancestor relationship between people in Belize and the Mayans.
