Description

For sale is an Iroquois false face corn husk mask from Six Nation Reserve.

The Six Nation Reserve of The Grand River in Ontario, Canada is where six Iroquois Nations live together.

Corn husk masks originated with false face wood masks.  These woven masks were made by women and worn by men.

These masks were created in different sizes which have different meanings.

This mask has the typical characteristics of braided nose and puffed cheeks. The picture of the reverse of the mask shows how it is braided.

The measurements of this mask is approx. 8 X 7 inches in total (face is 4 1/2 X 3 inches).  The mask is in very good condition however, the bezel of the mask is somewhat dry and brittle (it was purchased in the South West).

I have been selling tribal art on line since 1999 so buy with confidence.
