Mask
This portrait mask depicts a female ancestor. The paint on her face refers to her clan affiliation and the large lip plug indicates her elevated social status. The deep connection of the Tlingit with their ancestors, mythical ancestry and their environment is artfully reflected in their material culture. This culture unites the living, the ancestors and future generations.
