Another beautiful and authentic and hand carved Indigenous Mask just arrived!

Rupert Jeffrey, a member of the Gitxsan Nation from the Skeena River just brought us this Mask:

Thunderbird Dancer

Hand carved, hand painted, designed and signed by Rupert. He used yellow cedar, beautiful piece of wood, very clean painting, superb carving. The expression is truly powerful. The painted design on each side shows the arms and body of the dancer.

Measurements: 21" x 12" x 6" 

.AND please have a look at the video I just uploaded, it shows Rupert carving his signature in the back of his mask.... 

Meaning: The Thunderbird symbolizes supernatural power and is believed to be the dominating force behind all of nature’s doings. It’s a mythical creature and only the most prestigious and powerful Chiefs are allowed to have the Thunderbird as a crest.
