Mask Item Number: 4797 from the The Burke: University of Washington
Exhibit Label
Northern Wakashan art reflects the influence of Kwakwaka'wakw, Nuxalk, and Tsimshian neighbors. This bird mask, which may represent an owl, is similiar to Nuxalk masks, but the shape of the eye socket with its large, flat orb makes it distinctively Northern Wakashan in style.
