🦅 Bella Coola Hawk Spirit Mask | Pacific Northwest Tribal Shaman’s Ceremonial Art | Hand Carved & Painted Reproduction
This hand-carved wooden replica is modeled after a rare mid-1800s Bella Coola hawk mask, originally created for ceremonial use by shamans of the Pacific Northwest tribes. The original piece sold at auction in 2008 for $433,000 and now resides in a private collection.
In Bella Coola and surrounding Indigenous cultures, the hawk symbolizes wisdom, elevated vision, and focused observation—qualities essential for spiritual guidance and decision-making. Hawk spirits are believed to see beyond the immediate, using keen perception and concentration during rituals and ceremonies.
Museum Source Reproductions proudly presents this exquisite hand-carved and hand-painted replica, honoring the artistry and symbolism of the original shaman’s mask collected in the 19th century.
