EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a Mask dating back to around 1845, created by the American School in the 19th century. The painted wood mask stands at a height of 33 cm and is housed at the prestigious Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts, USA.
The intricate details of this piece showcase the artistry and cultural significance of the Bella Bella tribe from British Columbia, Canada. The mask features a bearded face with a prominent moustache and goatee, reflecting traditional male figures within the Heiltsuk community.
As one gazes upon this powerful object from the Northwest Coast, they are transported back in time to an era where masks played a vital role in ceremonies and rituals. Each brushstroke tells a story of heritage and connection to nature that was deeply rooted in indigenous beliefs.
Through Kathy Tarantola's lens, we are able to appreciate not only the craftsmanship of this artwork but also its symbolic value within Native American culture. This photograph serves as a reminder of our shared history and the importance of preserving these treasures for future generations to admire and learn from.
