The Eskimo are the greatest OF all
mask makers. During their religious
cerenonials they impersonatc their own
various gods, wearing masks for the
purpose. but the nlosJ c;.rious thing is
that they Wear little masks Oh their
fingers as we'll as big ones 10 cover
their faces. Iheae finger masks. the
Ike OF which are unknown anywhere
else in the world, usually represent the
sun. They are of wood, carved With Il
laughing or weeping face, and the rays;
of the sun are represented by white
hair from the belly OF the Wild rein
deer set around as Il fringe. The sun is
the most important of the Eskimos' di-
whites, and the principal object of the
winter ceremonial is to persuade the
sun god to come back from the south.
