Lisa Ray Ceremonial Algonquin Mask Native American Skull Leather Feathers Shells

Description

This mask comes from my personal collection, I have collected Native American art since the 1970's.  This mask has been in my possession since 1993 when I purchased it directly from Lisa Ray.  The mask is covered in white leather with twisted white leather fringe ending with shells.   A white skull (don't know what it is) is mounted at the top of the mask and various feathers are attached at the very top.
