1920s Native American Kwakiutl Polychrome Wood Mask

Item Details

Description

Native American, Northwestern Coast United States, Kwakwaka´wakw (Kwakiutl / Kwagiulth), ca. 1920s CE. A dramatic hand carved wooden ceremonial mask, with vibrant painted details. The mask is stylized with downward lips, broad cheeks, a hooked nose, a thick brow, and holes through the eyes for the wearer to see through. Two separate panels extend from the head representing feathers with painted chevron shapes in red, yellow, and white. The rest of the visage is painted with red, orange, white, black, and blue pigments. The sides are pierced for suspension and the top has a metal suspension wire attached for displaying. The anthropomorphic face is representative of a chief's mask. One of the projecting panels is handwritten with a label, now mostly indiscernible, with the name of the chief who may have owned this fine ceremonial piece. Size: 18.5" L x 10.5" W (47 cm x 26.7 cm)

This piece has been searched against the Art Loss Register database and has been cleared. The Art Loss Register maintains the world's largest database of stolen art, collectibles, and antiques.
