This is kind of a ghost image of a Dzunukwa Mask. This particuliar mask was made of bear skin and human hair. It was believed the Dzunukwa, or Cannibal Woman, would lurk in the forest and eat little children. The mask would be worn by a chief in ceremonies, one of which would be gift-giving as it was believed that men that could tame her would bring back great treasure. So hopefully this brings everyone good fortune, with no loss of little children, as I’m passing this image on to this week 12’s Monochrome Madness. Don’t look into the eyes of this thing but keep an eye out for this week’s monochrome photos by some very talented people. Photos will be posted on Leanne Cole’s blog later on in the day.
