This Portrait Mask was masterfully carved of Red Cedar and decorated with black and red paint and black hair.

The crisp facial hair decoration gives this mask a jaunty debonair look, but the eyes are deep and questioning.

Priced at $695 (was $795), this beautifully carved mask measures 12h x 7w x 3d.

The artist is unknown, but “Tulalip” is indicated on the piece.

The Tulalip Tribes of Washington, formerly known as the Tulalip Tribes of the Tulalip Reservation, is a federally recognized tribe of Duwamish, Snohomish, Snoqualmie, Skagit, Suiattle, Samish, and Stillaguamish people.

The Tulalip Tribes was organized under the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934. Tulalips’ Constitution and Bylaws were approved January 24, 1936, and a Charter ratified October 3, 1936. The governing body is the seven member Tulalip Board of Directors. The tribes has over 4,900 members and provides many services including an early learning academy, higher education assistance, health and dental clinics, a pharmacy, a state-licensed chemical dependency recovery program, senior retirement home and cultural activities.

In addition to two Marysville School District (MSD) schools, the tribes collaborates with MSD, providing on-reservation alternative school programs. Additionally, the Tulalip Tribes provides oversight to the Tulalip Housing Authority, which provides nearly 300 housing units for tribal members, and to the Tulalip Utilities District, the primary provider of water and sewer services on the reservation.
