Handmade Hide and Fur Mask with Wooly Beard, Presumed Nunamiut, Alaskan mesopotamian and I have not found

and I have not found another quite like it

I especially like what it is: a stirrup cup

each is signed (incised) jg on the underside

which is missing but should be easy to replace

but a wonderful object for added ambiance anytime

Handmade Hide and Fur Mask with Wooly Beard, Presumed Nunamiut, Alaskan mesopotamian and I have not foundThis mask is one of the most extraordinary things I've had in my possession, for sure a stunning, exquisitely crafted object that I find unbelievably beautiful and powerful. I have done a fair amount of research, which has led me to believe that it is Native Alaskan, most likely made by a Nunamiut mask maker from the Anaktuvuk Pass though I am not 100% certain, and indeed, this and the two others I have are superior to any others I have seen.
