Handmade Hide and Fur Mask with Double Eyes, Presumed Nunamiut, Alaskan etching of house Very good vintage condition andThis mask is one of the most extraordinary things I've had in my possession, for sure a stunning, exquisitely crafted object that I find unbelievably beautiful and powerful. I I have done a fair amount of research, which has led me to believe that it is Native Alaskan, most likely made by a Nunamiut mask maker from the Anaktuvuk Pass though I am not 100% certain, and indeed, this and the two others I have are superior to any others I have seen.
