Eagle mask

Kwakiutl people, BC, Canada

9 inches, painted wood

Q: 25 years ago I purchased this mask from the British Museum in Victoria and I'm trying to document what I have.  It is signed: "Bob Whonnvch, Eagle, Kwakiutl."  Tanya, 4-12-11   138
A: Your modern eagle mask is handsome and original in both color and design, but I found no record of the carver. You should try a museum or dealer in BC. They may know of him.
