    Description

    This is an awesome item from the NY state museum in Albany NY . This is a very old  mask made of fiber glass metal and horse hair . Has the brass in the eyes over the fiber glass . This mask was molded over an original mask  from one in the collection of Dr Fenton . I've included one of his publications full of great photos and information . The mask is great and done really.well . It has some slight chips here.and there but it's at least 70 years old . The original mask was just repatriated a few years ago . Some 80 masks were repatriated to the six nations at a meeting at the museum . Those masks were collected for the museum by Dr Fenton and various sources at that time . Any questions just ask .
