Carved, wooden, raven and human transformation mask. The exterior consists of a long black beak, red mouth and stylized nose. The beak and sides are hinged with pieces of fibre and leather, nailed to all sides. The eyes are white, outlined in black on a white background surrounded by a green ovoid; brow is black. Nailed to the top of the head are numerous broken raven feathers. Another figure is painted underneath the mouth. The mask opens in three directions to expose a painted human face with cutout nostrils and mouth. The three open boards are detailed with ovoids, s-shapes, U’s and split U’s. The back is partially hollowed. There is an attached twine cord that assisted the beak in opening and shutting. The mask is painted black, red, white and green with Northwest Coast stylized designs. There is a large metal ring nailed into the top of the head, probably for display purposes.
Wool headdress woven in sections with cotton warp for about four inches. One piece of wire is shaped to fit the crown of an old felt hat. More wire is attached to this and comes to a point bent forward. The smallest section of wool is circled around this and joined together. The other two are attached to a cloth which is in turn attached to the hat. It is crowned with raven feathers.
