He was celebrated for his intricate spirit masks (also called dance masks or inua masks), which draw from traditional Yup'ik ceremonial art. These masks often represent animal spirits, mythological beings, or elements of the natural world, carved from wood with polychrome (multi-colored) paint, attached appendages, hoops, and symbolic details like fish, birds, or sea creatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis works are highly collectible and appear in auctions, galleries, and collections, including pieces in diplomatic settings via the Foundation for Art \u0026amp; Preservation in Embassies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique American Indian Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46014532616357,"sku":"220812-01","price":750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6071\/5685\/files\/220812-01_1_f2c2edaa-1a10-4244-a7da-7a88d282c787.jpg?v=1771280538","url":"https:\/\/antiqueamericanindianart.com\/products\/eskimo-mask-by-larry-float-sr-21","provider":"Antique American Indian Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
