Inuit/Alaskan Native artists from regions like southwest Alaska (e.g., around Bethel), where walrus ivory carving is a longstanding tradition for creating miniature masks, often inspired by traditional dance or spirit masks (though full-sized Yup'ik masks are usually wooden). These smaller ivory versions are often made for sale as collectibles or tourist art, blending cultural symbolism with contemporary craftsmanship.
