Vintage 1998 

Northwest Pacific Coast 

Kwakiutl Style

Hand Painted & Hand Carved Wood Sun Mask Wall Art 

15" Diameter x 5.5" Deep

This hand-painted, wood-carved mask is characteristic of Pacific Northwest Coast Indigenous art, specifically styles associated with the Kwakwaka’wakw (Kwakiutl) people

This mask represents a Sun Mask or Moon Mask, central figures in Northwest Coast mythology.

 It features a central human-like face set within a wide, flat, radial border representing sun rays or the celestial body's glow.

 Authentic pieces are typically hand-carved

In Indigenous traditions, these masks are often used in Potlatch ceremonies. Dancers wear them to portray ancestors or supernatural beings, bringing mythological stories to life through performance. The Kwakwaka’wakw believe the Sun was among the original beings that created the first people
