- Lot Description
Native American, Pacific Northwest Coast, Haida peoples, ca. early to mid-20th century CE. A large and finely carved wooden ceremonial dance mask depicting the head of a highly stylized raven. The mask features a cavernous interior with a leather loop handle along the top as well as a twisted jute cord that, when pulled, closes the bottom section of the beak against the top section. The face presents huge ovoid eyes surrounded by thick lids within yellow rectangular face panels, a tapered, blade-like beak with a pointed tip, and perforated nostrils surrounded by red pigment and black teardrop-shaped borders. The coiffure is constructed with several locks of blonde horsehair pinned to the head with iron nails. Ravens in Haida culture are highly symbolic trickster creatures that represent creation, knowledge, and the nuances of truth-telling. Size: 24.4" L x 9.5" W x 9" H (62 cm x 24.1 cm x 22.9 cm); 14.75" H (37.5 cm) on included custom stand.
