Sometimes masks were covered in mosaics made of various materials. The mask itself could be made of green or black stone, wood, obsidian (a hard dark volcanic glass/stone), or even placed on a real human skull. Common mosaic materials were turquoise, obsidian, gold pyrite, coral, and shell. Sometimes the mask would simply have inlaid teeth and eyes. Ceramic masks were more rare, but they were made.
