I was in Anchorage in 1983 and purchased these mask there. I may have bought them in a pawn shop. I was told they were burial mask made in the image of the person who died. I was also told there were fewer and fewer artist with the knowledge to carry on this work. I'm trying to find out if this artist - Dora Stine - was well known. Any help you can give would be appreciated.

Inside each mask is this signature
