Mask c. 20th century

"Mask" is a woven sculpture by Sulka from the 20th century. The anthropomorphic figure is crafted in straw, painted pink and detailed with black and yellow geometric patterns. It features a large, expressive face with exaggerated features, a crown of black feathers and a snake emerging from its mouth. Displayed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, this piece is a striking example of indigenous artistic traditions and the power of creative expression in woven form.
