Northwest Coast Wolf Mask — Hand-Carved, Painted, Wall-Mountable
This hand-carved Wolf Mask draws from the ceremonial traditions of the Northwest Coast Indigenous peoples, particularly in the style of the Kwakwaka’wakw. Crafted from lightweight wood, likely cedar, the mask is hand-painted in vivid red, black, and green pigments and features dramatic carved teeth, a prominent eye, and upright ears. Coarse natural hair tufts rise from the top, enhancing its lifelike, expressive form.
This piece is both freestanding and wall-mountable, with an information card labeled “Mini Wolf Mask” affixed by twine—suggesting it was created as a collectible or educational item. The color palette, carving style, and materials are all consistent with mid-to-late 20th century Northwest Coast miniatures, often sold through galleries and tribal art cooperatives.
A compact, display-ready example of Indigenous-style carving, this mask would appeal to collectors of Native-inspired art or those seeking culturally rooted decor.
