Description

Help us help those in need this holiday season! Artemis Gallery is donating 100% of the Buyer's Premium from all lots sold to COMMUNITY FOOD SHARE. Each $1.00 donated = 3 meals!

Native American / First Nations, Canada, Ontario, Six Nations, Iroquois, ca. mid to late 20th century CE. A vintage corn husk doll wearing a mask known as Gajesa or Bushy Head- the body made from husks wrapped over a sturdy frame and dressed in leather and cotton clothing with a yarn sash and leg tassels. The figure represents a masked initiate of the False Face / Husk Face Society; these initiates received dreams or visions from spirits which helped in medicinal and healing rituals. The mask represents spirits in a realm where the seasons are reversed from the real world - the pursed lips symbolize the whistling / blowing of the benevolent west wind. Size: 6" L x 3" W x 17" H (15.2 cm x 7.6 cm x 43.2 cm)

Provenance: private Alamo, California, USA collection, before 2000
