Ceremonial Masks

We carry masks created by a number of master carvers from up and down Vancouver Island. Our stock is always changing, so no matter how often you come in to visit us at The Judy Hill Gallery, there will always be something new to see.

Representing spirit creatures, animals, and myths, masks are typically used in the Potlatch or other West Coast Native ceremonies. The wearer of the mask takes on the character of the creatures that the masks represent and it is said, enters the supernatural world during the dance.
