This cheeky Raven mask by Kwakwaka’wakw artist Alfred Robertson is hand-carved from red cedar and finished with strips of red cedar bark and acrylic paint. The Raven's articulated beak allows it to be displayed on the wall in either an open or closed position. The Raven, one of the most important figures in Northwest Coast artwork, is known as a trickster and bringer of light. Raven represents creation and knowledge.
Born in 1950 in Kingcome Inlet, Alfred Robertson now resides in Nanaimo, BC. He was taught to carve from his father, William Robertson, and has also worked alongside his brother, Sampson Robertson. Alfred carves full-time, and works primarily in red and yellow cedar.
In his spare time, he teaches basic carving techniques to elementary school children, preserving and sharing the traditions of his people.
