Description :

A hand‑carved wooden puppet head or mask in the style of Indigenous Northwest Coast storytelling figures. These types of pieces are often used in educational, cultural, or theatrical storytelling settings rather than as ceremonial regalia.

Key Features

  • Carved from a single piece of wood

  • Stylized animal head (wolf/canine‑type form)

  • Painted details in black and blue around eyes and mouth

  • Open mouth with carved wooden teeth

  • Natural plant fibers/bark tied to the top for hair or crest

  • Hanging cord attached for display or manipulation

  • Tag present (likely identifying maker or origin)

Storytelling puppets and masks like this are commonly made by Native and Native‑inspired carvers for:

  • Teaching traditional stories

  • Demonstrating animal characters

  • Decorative or collector purposes

  • Tourist and gallery markets

Because it includes stylized features and mixed materials, it fits the category of Native‑style folk art rather than a documented ceremonial object.



Dimensions : 14.5 in L
