NW Coast Spirit Mask

Spectrum arts Gallery LLC specializes in fine cultural pieces that tell stories across the world and speak to the ancient histories of these cultures. The Pacific Northwest Alaskan Indian spirit mask represents the history and heritage of the Alaskan native peoples. Alaskan Spirit masks use a unique construction and unique materials not seen in masks from other indigenous peoples. The Alaskan spirit mask shown is made from fossil ivory, baleen (fibers from a whale’s upper jaw) and animal hair and feathers, much like the masks native shamans have used for hundreds of years. Made from a base of baleen, this piece for sale is made for your cultural display or collection.
