#Woodensday :
Dance Mask Yup'ik artist, Alaska, c. 1900 Wood, pigment, vegetal fiber The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York L.2018.35.100 “The collective life force of all creatures past, present, and future is embodied in the depictions of #animals on this dance mask. Its bentwood hoop represents the border of the universe and encloses images of a humanoid spirit face, a #seal, a #fish, and a #loon - all within the grasp of a large human hand. A dancer would wear the mask in a winter ceremony honoring the animals who gave their lives during the year and ensuring their return in the coming season.”
Dance mask, Edo Period (17thC).
