Vintage Ojibwe Beaded Felt and Moose Skin Gauntlet Mittens, 1950s First Nations

About the Item

TRADITIONAL OJIBWAY TRIBAL GLOVES WITH FLORAL BEAD DETAILING Originating from the Ojibwe (Ojibwa) people from what is currently Southern Canada and the North Mid-Western United States. Handmade from smoked moose leather and red felt and fur trimmed. Hand-beaded by an Ojibway artist in the floral style typical of the classic Eastern Woodlands style. They are in excellent vintage condition, lightly worn, if at all. Measuring 33cm long x 15cm wide and extending to 20cm wide at the fur trim. Although I would imagine they will be bought by a collector or as a decorative piece they easily fit my hands which I would say are an average man’s size but I think could be worn by anyone for the purpose of keeping their hands worn.

  • Henry Hunt (1923-1985) First Nations Bear Carving Mask
    Located in Garnerville, NY
    Authentic First Nations wood carved mask by master carver, Henry Hunt (1923-1985). This hand carved gem depicts a Canadian Grizzly Bear. Pencil signed in cursive on the reverse, Henry Hunt. Carved out of Pacific Northwest pine. Hunt had a rich history replicating and also making one of a kind masks, figures and totems in the Kwakwaka'wakw tradition. This piece dates circa 1970-80. Good overall condition with wear consistent with age. One minor ding near the eye (see photo). Dark patina. No visible splits. Approximately 5" deep x 5.13" wide x 7" high. Galleries West Bio: In 1941, the Royal British Columbia Museum in Victoria opened Thunderbird Park on a small piece of land adjacent to the museum. Centred around the historic Helmcken House on the same site, it was a small but growing collection of authentic examples of northwest coast art — poles, grave markers, and other ceremonial carvings by the Haida, Songhees, Nuu-cha-nulth, and Kwakwaka’wakw people. By the early 1950s, the carvings had started to decay, and the museum hired a carver to replicate the existing poles, and create new carvings based on original works from sites along the west coast. Kwakwaka’wakw chief Mungo Martin was hired as head carver, and he brought in his stepson, Henry Hunt, to assist him. Based on the northeast coast of Vancouver Island, the Kwakwaka’wakw carvers are known for poles and masks carved with traditional hand tools, faces and figures with theatrical expressions, and bright painting outlined in sharp contrast. Martin learned the art from his own stepfather, Charlie James...
