Mask Makers Web

When Eskimo women dance, their hands are active and expressive while their feet often remain still, and they generally accent their hand movements with finger masks. The central part of the mask, like the face mask, often displays a circle-within-a-circle motif which represents the cosmos. Sometimes finger masks portray a toothy inua, or they may represent smiling male guardian spirits, frowning female spirits or mythical beasts
