North Eastern Americas Circa 1950s. First Nations, Canada, Ontario, Six Nations, Iroquois, ca. mid to late 20th century CE.  A vintage corn husk doll wearing a mask known as Gajesa or Bushy Head- the body made from husks wrapped over a sturdy frame and dressed in leather and cotton clothing with a yarn sash and leg tassels. The figure represents a masked initiate of the False Face / Husk Face Society; these initiates received dreams or visions from spirits which helped in medicinal and healing rituals. The mask represents spirits in a realm where the seasons are reversed from the real world - the pursed lips symbolize the whistling / blowing of the benevolent west wind.
Size: 6" L x 3" W x 17" H (15.2 cm x 7.6 cm x 43.2 cm) Unmounted.
