Coast Indian Suite Item Number: 2980/6 from the MOA: University of British Columbia
Description
Panel 6 in a series of 20 panels. Drawing of a ceremonial headdress with the face of a bear. The face is blue, with large round eyes topped by heavy curving brows, a short forehead and rounded ears. The snout protrudes and features large round nostrils. The mouth is open with a protruding tongue and two square teeth far back in the mouth. A clawed blue paw peeks out from under the mask. Feathers, hair, a thin rope and a pink ribbon drape from behind the bear’s ears, falling to the side and bottom. The mask sits in a shallow landscape of foliage and rocks.
