Description

Pair Hand-Carved Feathered Gourd Masks – Signed, Valerie M. Milner

Offered is a vibrant pair of hand-carved and hand-painted gourd masks, each decorated with an expressive mix of natural feathers and bead elements. One mask is clearly signed by artist Valerie M. Milner, while the second shows a different hand, marked with titles such as “Mai Tai” and “Piper.” Both display characteristic folk-art styling, with painted geometric motifs, small turquoise-colored accents at the eyes, and elaborate feather crests ranging from bright yellow and blue tones to patterned pheasant-style plumes.

Striking as a pair, these masks present a bold decorative statement and would be an appealing addition to collections of contemporary folk art or gourd craft. Condition details follow below.

CONDITION

Good overall condition with no noted damage. Feathers show minor handling wear and light fray in places. Surface variations are typical of natural gourds. Paintwork and bead attachments remain intact.
