This miniature mask is featured in the November edition of @tribal_art_society !

This Coastal Ramu River amulet mask probably served as a protective charm. Masks were omnipresent in the arts and cultures of the Sepik. Of extremely variable sizes (from a few centimeters to more than a meter high), they offer a seemingly unlimited range of shapes and colors.

This miniature mask from Papua New Guinea is also part of our exhibition:

“Precious”!
Today is the opening of our new exhibition featuring these two kachina dolls.
Kachinas (or katsinam) were precious gifts given to Hopi children as teaching tools. They were also prayers for rain and good harvests.

“I will return with good rains and dance as a Katsina in the plaza with my ancestors.”
Don C. Talayesva, Sun Chief, the autobiography of a Hopi Indian, Yale University Press, 1942
