The traditional Corn Husk Masks are becoming more difficult to obtain with each passing year. Occasionally, I find a few for sale at either the Six Nations Reservation in Ontario or at The Kahnawake Mohawk Reservation south of Montreal.
The Iroquois False Face Masks are carved from wood. Some artists, like Gene Thomas, use white pine to carve their masks, while others use basswood. The masks have real horse tail hair and eyes made of tin.
Smaller than the traditional False Face masks, these Iroquois False Face Guardian Masks are hand-carved from wood with deerhide leather ties for the hair and a loop for hanging at the top. They measure about 8 cm long (3") and are 5 to 6 cm wide (2"-2.5"). They weigh approximately 25 grams. They may or may not come signed by the artist.
Note that our selection keeps changing. The pictures above are for reference only. You will get a similar mask to those above, but if you would like a specific one, please let us know.
