Sculptures and Woodcarvings by Philip Alcock

Masks and Bowls

Here are some images of Native American style masks. I make other types too. Although I'm Irish/French, not a Native American Artist, I have been interested in their culture since I was 7 years old. I tried to honor their art when I made these. Even though these masks are not full size, some were made to be danceable, that means there is a block which can be gripped in the teeth to prevent the mask from banging into the wearer's face.

If you would like some kind of mask made, write me.
