Maskette25.0/325

Bugwis, the Merman, is represented in this miniature mask, an example of the small carvings made in great numbers today by the Kwakwaka'wakw for sale in souvenir outlets. The mask can be identified as Bugwis by its large rodent-like incisors and the browline merging in a downward sweep with the nose. (Holm, Crooked Beak of Heaven, 1972)
