Sibundoy masks are a traditional form of self-expression for the indigenous Kamsá and Inga people, deeply rich in symbolism. Each mask is hand-carved by a shaman and their family, then slowly smoked over a fire to cure it before being adorned with hundreds—or even thousands—of tiny beads. The shape of the face, the colors, and the intricate patterns all contribute to the mask’s unique meaning
