| Description:
|
From the mid
90's, this is the smaller of the two mask sizes Denise offers in this
design. This example is in perfect condition - so shiny it's hard to
photograph!
A comment from Denise on the Woman In The Moon series: "This
design comes from a mask carved by both Eskimo and Athabascan natives.
The idea of the woman in the moon reminds us of our sister who became
the moon. The designs on the cheeks or chins were
added by our neighbors, the Athabascans. We have included these designs
in our work. This design is one of the pieces I have worked with for
some time. The first "Woman in the Moon" reminded me of my grandmother.
As a result, I think of her through the design." |
