Native American Masks at the Denver Art Museum



These masks are all incredibly unique and very detailed.  Each one holds a different expression and portrays a specific figure.  It appears that the "hair" on most of the masks is made of animal fur.  The color varies from very vibrant reds and greens to more dull browns.  Each one looks like it took a considerable amount of time and painstaking attention to detail to complete.  One can only imagine the differences in opinion on having them collected together in a museum.
