Black Elk Mask


Black Elk

I made this mask--based on the features of elder Black Elk, an American Indian (Oglala Sioux) Spiritual Leader of an earlier generation--painted red because that is how he saw himself at some of the significant times in his life.

I recommend the book Black Elk Speaks by John Neihardt if you have not yet read it.
