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)

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.
