Fantastic piece of true Indigenous art - highest quality carving - made and prepared for wall hanging AND beautiful glass display box included, all fully hand made!!!

Portrait Mask, by Coast Salish artist Howard LaFortune Sr., joungest brother of Doug LaFortune and member of a very large family of accomplished Indigenous artists.

This piece is really special. Howard build a special base for it and covered the mask in a framed glass box. He truly put a lot of work into the mask and in the display of it. The carving lines are very professionally executed, and the added Abalone eyes are outstanding. He told me that he carefully chose the Abalone, saying that the one on the left eye is depicting a hummingbird and the right eye shows a mountain range. Have a close look, maybe you can see it. Red cedar, signed at the back, authentic native art direct from artist. Please have a look, I'm showing a picture with Howard holding his mask. A very nice piece, very impressive quality.
