The Mask

This is one of the masks of the Alutiiqs formerly known as Eskimos. They created masks to wear at ceremonies and danced around a fire often before a whale hunt!
In Kodiak, the Aleutians, Alaska.

Took this one because it would look good on the black.

The artwork is impressive and must have truly looked amazing in those ceremonies. The expression though reminds me of how I feel after a LONG day!
