Mask by Lillian Pit

This is a dynamic clay mask, titled “Crow Man”, by the highly regarded Native American artist Lillian Pitt. The mask has strong contours with a bird head like nose and a crow’s head coming out of the forehead of the mask. The mask has circular labret like disks at the corner of the mouth, a pair of long beaded drops on each side of the head and mixed feather around the forehead crow’s head. It is signed in the clay on the back of the mask: "Pitt". Lillian Pitt was born at Warm Springs and her heritage is Warm Springs, Wasco and Yakima. She has received many awards for her work. This is a powerful sculpture.
