Dzoonokwa Mask25.0/218

Dzoonokwa, one of the best known mythical personages in Kwakwaka'wakw art, is usually represented as a female. She is a giantess of great strength and awesome appearance. Her characteristic features are large size, dark hairy body, hanging breasts, and a great head with heavy brow, arched nose, sunken cheeks and eyesockets, and lips pushed foward and rounded to produce her fearsome cry, "Oooooh!" (Holm, Crooked Beak of Heaven, 1972)

Headdress Frontlet1-1458

Family crests are displayed on carved wooden plaques attached to dance headdresses. These have a long trailer of ermine skins and a crown of upright sea lion whiskers. This whisker "fence" holds eagle down, symbolizing peace, that cascades out as the dancer bobs his or her head. This gives the name Feather Dances to the Tlasula.
