Large wooden mask with painted designs and fringe. There are openings for the eyes, nose and mouth. There are round over-hangings above the eyes, thick cheeks and protruding ears with cowrie shells. The open mouth has many square white teeth. The mask is painted with swirling abstract designs in white, red and yellow on black ground. Sewn to the back and bottom is a long grass-like fringe.
This mask was danced in Palembei, PNG, in 2006 to welcome Coast Salish artist John Marston to the village. John Marston travelled to Palembei to meet master carver Teddy Balangu as part of an exchange programme. The mask was used to celebrate the coming together of two great carving cultures of the Coast Salish of British Columbia and the Iatmul of Papua New Guinea.
