Kwakiulth First Nation carver Andy Bruce, a great-grandson of George Hunt, extends his family’s legacy of cultural preservation and artistry with this powerful portrait mask.
The Kwakiulth and other Kwakwaka’wakw communities have long used such masks in potlatch ceremonies to represent ancestors, high-ranking individuals, and mythic beings. The mask’s bold, flowing form lines, intense mouth, and hair framing the face give it a commanding presence, embodying the authority and depth of Kwakiulth hereditary histories and clan identities.
