In the Brunka tribe's mask arts (contemporary expression), it provides the mask maker free rein to explore his artform outside of the more traditional format seen in the typical, traditional 'diablito' mask used in their venerable 'danza de los diablitos'. The so-called 'ecological' mask type - the form of which is somewhat reminiscent of a face mask to be worn - usually features studies of certain flora and fauna from Brunka territory, sometimes ancestral motifs and objects, such as petroglyphs, or gold accoutrements of the elite, are included in the composition.
