Item Details
Description
  • Title: Antique Tlingit Mask, NWC, Native American
  • Origin: British Columbia
  • Date/Period: Early 20rh century
  • Materials:Wood and pigments
  • Size: 8.5 inches tall - 176 grams
  • Description: Early 20th century Tlingit portrait mask, from the Northwest coast. It represents a deceased person and borrows the characteristics of his features, as Mari Mauzé says: "the mask is a being, in the true sense of the word, not in any way it should be considered only in its material lethargy; its manifestations release an emotional charge and force which accompanies the intrusion of the divine or supernatural world into the human world.Traces of red and green pigments. The eyebrows are underlined in black.There is a repair on the left side, it does not spoil the beauty of the piece.It comes from the Jean-Pierre Laprugne Collection, an antiquarian of Paris who purchasedthe piece from Mrs Muller, in Karlsruhe. The mask has been restored (also in coloring), I believe approximately twenty years ago. I think the wood is cottonwood, even if I'm not completely sure. Comes without stand.
