Ultra-High Relief Coloured Ancestor Moon Mask

This Masters Club exclusive puts a face to that mysterious realm as seen by Indigenous cultures in the Pacific Northwest—a gentle and caring ancestor who watches over the people, lighting the way when travellers are on the water during the night, or illuminating the beach to help people dig for clams in the dark. Ancestor Moon is always present, always ready to guide and protect.

Canadian K’ómoks and Kwakwa̱ka̱'wakw artist Andy Everson has created a unique portrait of Ancestor Moon using the ancient formline art of the Pacific Northwest, combined with contemporary elements and modern design aesthetics. The formlines’ distinctive style is unmistakeable, and the shapes in the moon’s serene and knowing expression are selectively coloured in vivid red, black, blue and white. Finely engraved line art fills the outer ring that shines with all the brilliance of a silver moon.
