Mask | Chugach, Native American | The Metropolitan Museum of Art
A stern larger-than-life face is depicted on this arresting mask. The minimally carved eyes and nostrils, heavy brow, and downturned mouth depict a supernatural being adorned with red paint on its jaw that reaches up to divide its forehead in half. Unrecorded Chugach Artist (Native American) 19th century, Prince William Sound, Alaska
