MaskA4096

Carved wooden, crooked beak mask. The beak has long, exaggerated, protruding nostrils with two large u-shaped openings in the front; many incised white s-shaped forms behind it. Running from the brow is a large, protruding, central black and white circular frill that projects upwards and curves downwards to the middle of the beak. The mouth is red, flat, wide and protruding. The underside of the beak is black; hinged with rectangular pieces of rubber. The eyes are black ovoids on an ovoid shaped ground; the brow is black. The inside of the mask is hollow with the exception of pieces of fibre twine to articulate the beak. Attached to the top are many small cedar bundles with a piece of eagle down intertwined. The mask was painted black, red and white with Northwest Coast stylized forms but is mostly black due to being burnt by fire.
