Yagis - Kwagu'l Sea Monster2004-90/3

Spirit of the Ancestors-Spectacular sea-monster masks are part of the Kwakwaka'wakw Tlasula ceremony. Masked dancers impersonating supernatural beings enter the big house in firelight, dramatizing an encounter and declaring the high status of the family presenting the dance. This sea monster can spout water through the float at the top of its head by the dancer blowing on a plastic hose and water container concealed inside the mask.
