I think it is absolutely stunning

The rope (which is more yarn-like than jute) is loose in a couple of spots but could easily be glued back

Handmade Hide and Fur Mask with Double Eyes, Presumed Nunamiut, Alaskan Sioux Indian I think it is absolutelyThis mask is one of the most extraordinary things I've had in my possession, for sure a stunning, exquisitely crafted object that I find unbelievably beautiful and powerful. I I have done a fair amount of research, which has led me to believe that it is Native Alaskan, most likely made by a Nunamiut mask maker from the Anaktuvuk Pass though I am not 100% certain, and indeed, this and the two others I have are superior to any others I have seen.
