Iroquois Blower or Whistler Mask

Iroquois people, Northeastern United States

The Blower Mask is part of the Iroquois False Face Society of the longhouse religion. The Iroquois lived in longhouses along what is now called the Hudson River Valley. The eyes of the mask are made of copper to reflect the light of the fire.  This particular mask is illustrated in the book, "Masks from Around the World."
