It is thinly carved but the design of the human form is way below average. I can&#8217;t tell if it&#8217;s supposed to be Tlingit, Tsimshian, Haida or Kwakiutl. The proper detail just isn&#8217;t there, but not all Indians were talented artists. Try to show it to experts in the field for their opinions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Q:\u00a0 I got this mask at a local antique gun show.
