Lot 104C
Pacific Northwest Coast, probably Salish Nation, British Columbia, ca. 1950 to 1960 CE. Huge and wonderfully crafted painted wooden mask. Expressive human face in shades of pink, black, white and natural wood-tones with shell eyes and long horse hair. Wood carving and masks have long been a tradition of the native cultures that stretch from Washington to the upper parts of Alaska and represent spritis, animals and family descendants. This example is a very striking and visually exciting example! Size: 15" W x 23" H (38.1 cm x 58.4 cm)
