Default Pacific Northwest mask finished

Attached is a just-completed mask, done in the Tlingit style. It was instuctor assisted (but knife work is all mine), from the Carving Academy, in Ellensburg, WA this past July.

About 10" high. Alder wood, horsehair, copper, and acrylic paint.

Super carving! I love that kind of work. So, is that copper that's inlaid inside the mouth?
