Three-faced Mask
![](http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4378/599/320/12%20Three-faced%20Mask.0.jpg)
This is my own version of a Yupik two-faced mask collected from the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. For some reason, I just wanted to add one more face. In Yupik art, the frowning faces depict women, while the men are always depicted as smiling. Can't imagine why women were always frowning... :{ The images of women also often include chin tattoos - they look like sun rays radiating out from the lower lip, but in soot-black.
