Status: No sale

Alaska Premier Auctions & Appraisals is pleased to present the June 2026 Premier Auction! Bid Online Now At: https://bid.alaskapremierauctions.com/ui/auctions/161659 This LIVE-ONLINE simulcast sale differs from our typical online auctions. Our live online sales offer pre-bidding until the auction is scheduled to begin closing, as usual. At this time, however, instead of bidding with a countdown timer as three lots close per minute, we will go LIVE via a video and audio broadcast and begin clerking the sale in real-time, taking competing bids from both our auction platform and third-party national auction platform partners from other bidders around the world. If you are unable to bid in real time during the online broadcast sale, PLEASE make sure to leave your max bids in advance to avoid missing out on this fantastic array of items. Highlights of this auction include: A group of important 19th-century Alaska Native masks, including a polychrome-decorated Yup'ik animal spirit mask circa 1875~, comparable to an example in the Sheldon Jackson Museum, and a Point Hope example with warm, smiling features and labrets.
