This mask has features that suggest a conjectural identification as a sea creature on the order of the Kwakwaka'wakw Bugwis. The mask is painted dark red, with the features in black and white. A fringe of grass-like material is attached across the top of the mask and falls behind, simulating hair. (Holm, Crooked Beak of Heaven, 1972)
Painted bird headdress, with a protruding beak at front centre. The mask is natural wood with features and designs painted on. The beak, forehead and area surrounding the eyes is green; the eyebrows are black; cheeks, eyelids and mouth are orange. Silver is used to detail the eyes, nostrils, checks and forehead. Red designs including half circles are on either side of the headdress. Above the face is a row of carved feathers decorated with orange and green triangles and silver circles. Baleen is attached to the back of the mask and is visible above the headdress. A brown textile, and red and printed strands, are attached to the back, creating a head cover. (Similar to A7859).
