Panel 8 in a series of 20 panels. Drawing of a Tlingit wolf forehead mask. A large wolf head sits in side view at the midpoint of the drawing. It has a long snout, and open mouth showing many long thin teeth. A large eye is topped by a heavy brow. The forehead and sides of face are decorated with light, rectangular panels. Black hair falls from the forehead and can be seen beneath the bottom of the mask. The far left of the drawing shows the edge of the Kwakwaka’wakw family crest mask from 2980/7. It has a crosshatching motif at centre surrounded by a thick, dark pink line, a green pattern above and two small yellow dots below. The background of the drawing is a mass of foliage and underbrush in monochromatic grey. Covered with plexi frame.

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.

Panel 4 in a series of 20 panels. A large eagle is drawn in the top centre of the image, with wings spread. The head is turned to the side and slightly raised, showing a large round eye and sharp hooked beak. Wings and torso are decorated in formline style. Feet extend toward the surface of a river running through the drawing from top middle to bottom. Beneath the water is a large stylized fish with split tail, and formline designs on back and face. A long orange fish swims across the image. In the background is a dense forest of vined trees alongside the river. Covered with plexi frame.

Panel 1 in a series of 20 panels. Drawing of a deerskin war shirt. The shoulders of the shirt fill the drawing at the top; the neck is squared and sewn to the front with thread giving way at the right seam. Fringe hangs along the shirt’s right side top to bottom, with similar on parts of the left. The shirt appears to be arm-less. Images on the shirt are in traditional patterns showing birds, animals and whales in red, white and black formline. Covered with plexi frame.
