Humanoid Mask25.0/217

This mask has features that suggest a conjectural identification as a sea creature on the order of the Kwakwaka'wakw Bugwis. The mask is painted dark red, with the features in black and white. A fringe of grass-like material is attached across the top of the mask and falls behind, simulating hair. (Holm, Crooked Beak of Heaven, 1972)
