This Kwa' Laba Kuth, or Wildman, mask represents one of the ghost-like forest spirits that appear during the Makah Klookwalli ceremonial. Similar ghost-like spirits are represented in mask form among neighboring tribes: Pukmis and Ahlmako of the Nuu-chah-nulth, the Bukwus of the Kwakiutl. Their ghostly qualities are sometimes represented by skull-like heads with hooked noses and bared teeth in grimacing mouths.
Dzoonokwa, a Sasquatch-like creature, belongs to a family of humanoid giants who are both beneficial and menacing to humans. She is known to steal children, but can also bestow power and wealth.

The exterior sides of the box are painted with blue dots while the doors on both sides are painted with floral motifs in red, purple, yellow, and black on a white background.
Brown wood double reed whistle made of two single double reed whistles of equal length bound together by grey twine. Both pieces are rectangular in cross section and come to a tapering end and are bound in twine around near the smaller end. While the wider end is solid on each piece, there are two hollows (four in total) through the tapering end where there are two taper cut rectangular holes (four in total) nearby on opposite sides. On each piece one taper cut rectangular hole is lower than its opposite due to a horizontal graphite bar inlaid just above. On each side, one piece shows the graphite inlay while the other piece shows the higher taper cut rectangular hole. Sealed with pitch.
