False Face Society Mask Key Chain
by nativeamericanKeychain
Iroquois. Nineteenth century. Wood, tin, horse hair. The Iroquois False Face Society was an association of healers. Their masks were living things that required care and nourishment, such as offerings of tobacco. The shaggy, contorted faces represent forest beings who gave gifts of healing to human beings. The most senior of the False Face masks represent the Great World Rim Dweller, a primordial being as old as the world itself.

This is a wonderful piece! I have heard of the gifts of
tobacco for some spirits of the Native Americans especially to appease them when the land was misused or cedar trees were demolished!
