[QUOTE="komokwa, post: 4345877, member: 301"]all red cedar likely , old growth maybe even cast off from a mill....or even found on the beach... very hard to date..... 1970's...1980's ..give or take would be an off the cuff guess... all Coast Salish in nature...... the face with the teeth has some soul....and may have a nod to the FF masks....but only few have teeth and they are not usually human looking... The tall ones are meant to be mirror images, and hang opposite each other....they show a higher skill level and cultural understanding ..... but they all are journeyman carvings....... destined for sale to non natives...likely for a little weekend cash...... Still......what a lovely wood to handle ![/QUOTE]
