Kwakiutl people, Vancouver Island 18 inches, painted wood The following is from our "Ask the Mask Man" results. I'm guessing about size and the location of Chief Leluska. Date would be late 20th century.
I'm attaching a photo of a Frog
Mask I've had for many years. I would guess that the first mask is a Tlingit shaman's from Northern British Columbia. For more info you should consult a specialist in NWC artifacts. Your pic of the crying sun mask looks even better. "Ask the Mask Man" is not for appraisals, but if authentic, this piece is worth a lot of money. My only caveat is that beautiful NWC masks are frequently copied, many coming from Indonesia where skilled carvers abound.
