MaskA7476

Carved, wooden, supernatural bird mask with a long beak and circular cutout nostrils. The beak is hinged with pieces of leather on either side, nailed to the jaw. The beak and nostrils are painted black with red edging and detailing. There is a red stylized U-form around the nostrils. The eyes are white, outlined in black on a white, ovoid shaped background; brow is black and there are three black U-forms along the back rim. Attached to the top of the head are short strips of cedar bark creating a fringe that sits on top and hangs over the opening. Attached with twine to the top, back and bottom rim is red and white twisted cloth. Strips of cedar line the bottom rim and dangle down to cover the body of the wearer. The inside of the mask is hollow with the exception of thick strip of fibre that lines the opening and an attached twine cord that assistants the beak in opening and shutting; cord is tied around a long, wooden handle. The mask is painted black, red and white with Northwest Coast stylized designs.
