The shape of this mask is triangular with two planes intersecting on the median of the face. The forehead is high and smooth. The forehead is overpainted by a thunderbird design in black and green with the bird's head on the mask's left side. The thunderbird has oval black eyes surrounded by a plain tapering oval and a green area, a cross shape in the ovoid nostril, and four green split u feathers. The black eyebrows of the mask are raised and extend from the nose to the back edge of the mask. The eyes are placed on the upper cheek plane, with no orb, under a projecting and sloping under-brow. The eye is shallowly engraved and its centre is a round hole. A black band is painted across the eyes with some unpainted patches showing through. The nose, from which the cheek planes slope, has black drawn-back hollow nostrils. Black and green split u thunderbird feather designs extend down the cheeks. Narrow black lips are pulled back and down showing twelve plain teeth. A ridge around the bottom of the mask, painted black in the middle, is the chin.

MaskNb11.223

The shape of the mask is like a high triangle, two planes intersecting on the median of the face. The heavy eyebrows are painted black, but are not raised. The brow slopes and projects sharply above the nose. Each eye is set in a concave orb in the mask. The eye is made up of a painted white ring surrounding a round hole (2 cm. in diameter, 2 mm deep). The hooked nose is long and narrow and merges with the backswept cheek planes. Up-thrusted narrow nostrils are painted orange. The mouth, encircled by a concave recess, is formed by full, protruding lips, drawn back slightly separated and painted orange. Along the top edge of the mask extend strands of black hair shredded and twisted cedar bark strands, and grey-white feathers. Inside the mask is a leather frame to fit the head.
