The inscription says:
" MAYAN MASK - The masks you see worn during religious festivals in Mayan are a creation of the Maya from after the Conquest based on the masks that adorned their temples as well as seen on their ceramics. It is known that the Maya had religious brotherhoods and specific dances were performed by each.
CEDAR TREE - Cedar Cedrus, common English name cedar, is a genus of coniferous trees in the plant family Pinaceae. Cedars are very popular ornamental trees widely used in horticulture in temperate climates where winter do not fall below about -25 °C. Cedar wood and cedar oil are known to be natural repellent to moths, hence cedar is popular for furniture and carvings.
THE MAYAN MASK IS MADE FROM THE CEDAR TREE"
