Wide Moon Mask - Native American Art
The Back Story:
Wide Moon Mask
The Wide Moon mask depicting the four stages of the moon, as well as the low and high tides. Masks were crucial in dances in order to portray the character conveyed by the dancer. As such, a wide array of masks exist, depicting mythological beings, animals, forces of nature, and other humans.
The closeness that Native American people share with the land and water is a major part of their cultural identity and how they view themselves. The resource-rich environment of their land, with its abundance of food and wood makes it possible for the Indian people, in the past & present, to devote time to their elaborate social and ceremonial lives.
