The natural cedar wood provides a warm, earthy base that contrasts beautifully with the vivid paint. The addition of cedar bark fringe creates a dynamic texture and evokes the lively plumage of a raven. Thread is used to articulate the beak of this model mask, enhancing its lifelike quality, while marbles for the eyes add a glimmering spark, further elevating its realism. Taken all together, this is a striking work that showcases exceptional artistry and craftsmanship.Provenance
