Three S. Bradley Temple chalkware masks accompany a circular hide wall hanging and a fur-parka doll. The masks portray a male elder and figures identified as Lois and Emil, with reindeer-fur trim. An original label reads S. Bradley Temple, Handmade in Alaska, and carries a 1965 copyright date; the masks are associated with Brad and Sally Temple. The circular hanging features a whimsical drawing of a polar bear riding an orca, with white fur tentatively identified as polar bear. It measures approximately 12" in diameter and has substantial hide loss and fragility. The doll depicts a woman in a fur parka with coyote-fur trim and leather mukluks. Note: We have done our due diligence to identify the specific fur(s) used in this lot, but we are not professional furriers or authenticators on items of this nature.
