Three handcrafted Anaktuvuk Pass hide-and-fur masks depict an older man, a younger man, and a boy. Modeled hide faces, narrow eye and mouth openings, applied hair, and broad fur surrounds give each a distinct expression. The older man has a long face with prominent brows, a mustache, and a goatee, with caribou hair and a graded fur ruff tentatively identified as wolverine. The younger man has a smoother face, light brown beaver hair, seal-fur eyelashes, and banded trim tentatively identified as coyote. The smaller boy's face is surrounded by banded fur and light brown beaver hair. The largest mask measures approximately 7" x 2" x 10" tall, including the fur trim. Note: We have done our due diligence to identify the specific furs used in these items, but we are not professional furriers or authenticators on items of this nature.
