This anonymous, early 20th century mask is made of carved wood and polychrome paint. The "Triple Faced Mask" is a vibrant and striking example of folk art with its three faces. One face is a fierce demon with horns, while another is a more human-like face, and the third a more animalistic face. The mask's expressive features are enhanced by the use of bright colors and bold lines, making it a fascinating piece of art that is sure to catch the eye. The mask can be viewed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
