19th C. Yupik Wood Dance Mask, Restored by C. McIntyre

Item Details

Description

Native American, Northern United States, Alaska, Yupik people, ca. 19th century CE. A wood shamanic dance mask with extending feathers. The mask is in the form of both a abstract face that also forms a bird's body, the red bird head emerges from the "mouth" and the tail panel from the mask's brow. A pair of bent wood canes arch around the masks. These masks were traditionally made under the direction of shamans and had different functions- some might be intended to wear as masks during ceremonies and others may be made to hang in the home for healing or to bring fortune during hunts. The mask was restored by Chuna McIntyre, a Yupik artist and heritage historian. Size: 22" L x 13" W (55.9 cm x 33 cm)

Chuna McIntyre is a Yupik artist, historian, and dancer. He founded the program and curriculum Nunamfca "of our land" to educate and inspire native and non-native people about Yupik traditional culture through storytelling, song, and dance. Masks are an important part of the teaching and storytelling in McIntyre's performances. McIntyre has also consulted with the Metropolitan Museum of Art on the conservation of a Yupik mask made circa 1900; see the Metropolitan Museum website accession number 2017.718.3. He is also the consultant for the Smithsonian Institute for Yupik culture.
