Inuit spirit masks represent the interconnectedness of the natural and spiritual worlds, used by shamans in rituals to communicate with spirits, heal the sick, and ensure good hunting, often featuring symbolic animal forms or transformed human/animal features. These masks are typically carved from wood or ivory and decorated with hair, feathers, and paint, with the Yup'ik culture in particular known for their complex and dynamic mask traditions.
