Grizzly Bear Mask
STATUS : Available
The Grizzly Bear represents power, courage, strength, and leadership. Across the Northwest Coast, the Bear is respected as a protector and a close relative to people. Its intelligence, connection to the land, and role within family crests have made it an important figure in stories and teachings carried through generations.
This mask focuses on the presence of the Grizzly through its strong expression and deep carving. The face reflects both the physical strength of the Bear and the responsibility that comes with that strength. It serves as a reminder that leadership is not only about power, but also about protection, respect, and caring for the people and lands connected to us.
