Mask1994.96

A shaman mask, carved by Coast Salish artist George Pennier, in alder, painted with acrylic paint and with black human hair. The mask has upward turned eyes rimmed with red, heavy black eyebrows, and an open mouth with protruding tongue. Signed on the reverse of the mask and dated 1990. The mask was carved by a Coast Salish artist, George Pennier, a resident of Chilliwack, B.C. The style of the mask is Northern rather than Coast Salish, attributed to the fact some artists carve in styles that are not necessarily their own tribal group. The upturned eyes and protruding tongue represent a shaman in a trance, part of shamanic ritual during spirit quests and curing ceremonies. Shamanism, and its representation in art forms, is udergoing a hidden revival on the Northwest Coast indigenous community. This mask was made for sale and was purchased at Hill' s Indian Arts and Crafts Shop in Vancouver. Excellent
