HUK-HUK Mask on wooden stand (can be taken off the stand)

Beautiful and clean wood, hand carved, adorned with the traditional cedar bark and beautifully painted in vibrant and traditional colors black and red, still showing the beautiful grain of the wood. Signed underneath the base. Just a fabulous piece of Indigenous Art that just arrived in our native art gallery

Measurements: 17" long x 12" high (in base)  x 4" wide incl. cedar bark (12" x 4" x 4" mask itself)

Meaning: The Huk-Huk is one of the mythological Hamatsa (Cannibal dance) bird masks. There are three of them: One is the Crooked Beak (Galokwudzuwis), a monsterous human eating bird that produces great fear. Then there is the Man-eating RAVEN (Baxbaxwalanuksiwe) who eats his victim's eyes - followed by The HUK-HUK (Huxwhukw) who uses it's long beak to open and eat it's victim.
