Indigenous - The Review of Journalism

A detailed image of a richly carved wooden face, typical of Pacific Northwest Coast Indigenous art. The face, in warm wood tones, features closed, elongated red eyes with black accents and stark black tear lines trailing down the cheeks. A prominent nose and an open, red-lipped mouth revealing a row of small, white teeth complete the expression, which appears sorrowful or contemplative. Bands of white and dark grey paint are above the eyes. The entire carving is surrounded by complex, carved, and painted red formline elements, and a semi-transparent, swirling reddish overlay partially covers the scene.
