Buffalo Mask

Cleveland Museum of Art

Buffalo Mask by an unknown artist. The mask has a black and white color scheme. Two large, curved horns protrude from the top, with black bases and white tips. The face features large, round eyes with black and white details. Geometric patterns are painted on the face in black and white. A large, open mouth area is triangular in shape. Long, brown, shaggy fibers resembling hair hang from the sides of the face. A loop of cord or twine hangs from the bottom. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
