Pair of Feathered Gourd Masks by Valerie M. Milner — Signed Folk Art
Offered here is a vibrant pair of hand-crafted gourd masks by Valerie M. Milner, each distinctly signed along the lower edge. Milner’s work combines natural materials with bold, graphic linework, creating expressive faces accented with pierced details and strong black geometric motifs. Each mask is crowned with an impressive plume of mixed feathers—ranging from pheasant and guinea fowl to iridescent and multicolored varieties—arranged to produce a dramatic, sculptural silhouette.
The two masks complement each other beautifully, showcasing Milner’s recognizable style and her imaginative use of natural gourds as a sculptural medium. Together they form a striking display, suitable for collectors of contemporary folk art, gourd art, or mixed-media decorative pieces.
Condition:
Both masks are in good overall condition, showing light wear to some feather edges and minor natural irregularities to the gourds. Painted details remain clear, and both signatures are legible. No significant losses noted; please review photos for close-ups and feather detail.
