EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a remarkable artifact from the late 19th century Yupik culture, titled "Mask: The Bad Spirit of the Mountain". Crafted with wood, paint, and feathers, this intricately designed mask measures 21.1x14.6 cm and is currently housed in the Dallas Museum of Art in Texas, USA. The mask exudes an air of mystery and intrigue as it depicts the embodiment of a malevolent spirit residing within the mountains. Its striking features include a wicked grin and a single winking eye that seems to hold secrets untold. The incorporation of feathers adds depth and texture to this ethereal sculpture. As an ethnographic and anthropological treasure, this artifact offers valuable insights into Yupik culture's spiritual beliefs and artistic expressions during the 19th century. It serves as a testament to their reverence for nature's power while also acknowledging its darker aspects.
