Early 20C GREENLANDIC Ammassalimiut Shaman Mask - INUIT

Item Details

Description

Title: Early 20C GREENLANDIC Ammassalimiut Shaman Mask - INUIT

Date/Period: Early 20 century

Origin: Greenland

Dimension: Height: 12 inches tall - Weight: 20 oz.

Material: Wood, pigments

Provenance:Early 20th century darkened Ammassalimiut shaman mask, from Greenland. Carved from driftwood, probably cottonwood. Driftwood, wood carried by the sea that the Inuit used to store along the coast, was by far the preferred wood for masks by the first half of the 20th century, as it was lighter than massive Arctic wood. In more recent times instead, due to the abandonment of the use of collecting driftwood and perhaps also due to a change in aesthetic standards, the masks carved in local wood became the majority. The Greenlandic masks (much rarer than other Inuit masks, such as the Yupik) had a strictly shamanic function. Gives off a light, very pleasant smell of resin. Comes without stand.
