$65.00
This authentic 1967 Mohawk Haudenosaunee False Face “Spoon Mouth” mask was hand-carved at the Six Nations of the Grand River near Brantford, Ontario. Created by a Mohawk artisan, it represents a powerful healer or doorkeeper spirit associated with the False Face Society. The mask is carved from white wood, painted red to signify a morning start, and fitted with reflective metal eyeplates and a horsehair mane. False Face masks are considered living spiritual beings within Haudenosaunee culture and carry deep ceremonial significance. This piece is offered as a historically important mid-20th-century cultural artifact and should be treated with the utmost respect.
