Whalebone Mask with Double Ivory Inlay

View more work by John Weyiouanna



This mask stands out for the two labrets on each side of the chin.  Using two types of ivory (walrus and woolly mammoth), John creates raised labrets with great color contrast.  Traditionally, labrets were a coming of age piercing worn by young men.
