Raven Mask
Carved in red cedar by First Nations artist Sammy Dawson.
It measures 13" in length, 8" in width and 7" in height... a wonderful addition to any art collection.
Love the teal blue added to the more traditional Coast Salish colors. Great accents of cedar bark and feathers framing the face!
