Purple Face Mask
In a nighttime dream, I'm in a house I was living in at the time. I walked down a hall, turned right and on the floor beside the fireplace was the carved wooden mask leaning against the wall. The face was painted purple with white circular protrusions on the side. I saw this mask many and from many angles in my dream. This carving is a very close replica in both size and shape to the mask in my dream. I carved it from a beautiful piece of tight grained red cedar. I just couldn't see painting the whole mask so I only painted the white circular protrusions.
It's interesting to me the mask does not sit upright on the floor, upright as it did in my dream. It leans tremendously to the side due to the circular protrusions. In my dream, however, it leaned against the wall sitting perfectly upright with no support whatsoever.
