Corn Husk Masks
| Like many Native American arts and crafts, the
traditional corn husk masks are becoming more difficult to obtain with each
passing year. Occasionally, I find a few for sale at either the Six
Nations Reservation in Ontario or at The Kahnawake Mohawk Reservation south of
Montreal. When I do, I buy every one I can get. |

XL Corn Husk Mask
This is an extremely rare
mask that I believe was made by a Seneca man from Akwasasne. I
purchased this mask at the Kahnawake reservation in Quebec from a reputable Mohawk
dealer. There are very few of these jumbo masks made anymore.
This one is hanging on my wall at home. The mask is not
signed. In the picture to the left, the mask appears to be somewhat
crossed-eyed. This is easily fixed by placing an empty Coke can
behind the eyes as in the picture above.
Size: 28" long, 17" wide (39" x 24" with hair)

XL Corn Husk Mask I
have acquired a second XL corn husk mask that is located in the Niagara
Falls, New York warehouse. This mask was purchased from the Hill
family of Six Nations in Ontario at an estate sale. I bought it from
a well known collector of Iroquois art in upstate New York.
