DescriptionIn the abstracted form of a Hopi ceremonial dance mask, the clay sculpture is light beige with two cut out shapes on either side and a long slit along the bottom center. It is intended to serve as a mounted sculpture, which may be lit from within. The half circular mask shape is attached to a flat clay back, which appears as the wooded Hopi attachment.
