Mayan masks were usually worn in special ceremonies or at deaths for reasons that are yet to be known. For the archeologists to find such a precious Maya mask is rare.When the Maya buried their great leaders and rulers they would make a mask out of jade. Burial and death masks were used to identify the dead person so wandering spirits could not find its body. Maya people put masks in the graves of their families who died.Many Maya lords wore masks that resembled animals of the jungle such as birds, jaguars, monkeys and snakes. They were made of feathers, jade, gold and other gems
