RARE 19TH C. YUPIK WOOD SPIRIT MASKRARE 19TH C. YUPIK WOOD SPIRIT MASK (NEPCETAQ)Native American, Northwestern United States, Alaska, Yup'ik culture, ca. late 19th to early 20th century CE. A fantastical wooden spirit mask known as a Nepcetaq (Nepcetat) with waterfowl feathers (possibly snow goose or swan) and rawhide cords on the verso. This type of mask was usually made under the guidance of a shaman, or by the shaman, and worn during rituals and dances. The semi-human spirits known as (tuunraq) tuunrat were sometimes said to live on the moon - symbolized by the round face- and acted like game wardens. The masked rituals honored the spirits and animals to ensure successful hunts; a harmonious relationship with the animals is a crucial part of their culture and religion. The face has sharp bone teeth set into the grinning mouth, and relief seals are carved into the panel surface, the large holes might represent the ice holes that the seals emerged from and the movement between worlds. Size w/ feathers: 12.5" L x 2" W x 19" H (31.8 cm x 5.1 cm x 48.3 cm)
A similar mask is on display at the Fenimore Art Museum, object number: T0231. For additional information about this type of mask please see the article by Dr. Lauren Kilroy-Ewbank, "North Wind Mask" on the Smarthistory website, published August 22, 2016.
