Description

NORTHWEST COAST First Nations Indigenous 12" Kwagiulth Moon Mask Full Moon, by artist Jay Brabant, Metis There are two masks, one featuring a full moon over and the other a crescent moon design. These masks are meant to be sold as a pair but are listed in this auction seperately. (Yellow Cedar, Acrylic, Cedar Bark) 12" (not including moon on top) x 8" wide x 5" deep Signed on the back by the artist. The Moon is associated with transformation as it controls the tides and illuminates the dark. These masks, play a role in the peace dance of the #kwakwakawakw people’s in which a human leaves the ceremonial big house and returns transformed into a moon.
