Large wooden mask depicting a bearded face with horns. The face is long with a protruding forehead, brow bone, nose, lips, and beard. Horizontal eye holes, in a roughly rectangular shape, are bored through the wood below the brow bone. U-shaped sections of wood protrude from the sides of the face, resembling ears. A semicircle protrudes from the top of the mask's head, with two long, curved horns with incised concentric lines on either side. The mask is decorated with diamond and chevron patterns, as well as diagonal lines, painted onto the wood. Five holes are bored through the wood on each side of the mask's jaw. Four holes are bored through the back of the head. Most of the back/interior of the mask is open.
Sent on longterm loan from the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria to the Kelowna Museum (now the Okanagan Heritage Museum) in 1998, then deaccessioned and transferred to them in 2002.
