Description: THIS AUCTION IS FOR THE VERY RARE VINTAGE FRAMED PAIR OF ALASKAN ANAKTUVUK NAQSRAGMIUT MASKS MADE OF STRETCHED CARIBOU SKIN WITH FUR. THEY ARE PROFESSIONALLY FRAMED IN A POLISHED PECKED WOOD SHADOW BOXED FRAME WITH GOLD FILET UNDER GLASS. THESE CHILDREN'S FACES ARE AN EARLIER EXAMPLE AS SEWING STITCHES ARE VISIBLE ON THE FACES ... NOT JUST GLUED TOGETHER AS SEEN IN MORE RECENT ANAKTUVUK EXAMPLES. THIS PIECE WAS A SOUVENIR WHEN MY GRANDPARENTS VISITED ALASKA BACK IN THE 1970's. THIS FRAME MEASURES APPROXIMATELY 14"w x 14"h x 2"d WHILE THE MASKS MEASURE APPROXIMATELY 7"w x 7"h. THE FRAME AND MASKS ARE IN GREAT CONDITION WITH VERY MINIMAL TO NO SIGNS OF WEAR ... NO DINGS, DENTS, CRACKS, STAINS, DISCOLORATIONS, OR FADING ... JUST WONDERFUL :)
