Painted in red, black, and blue. Loan: Museo Nacional de Antropologia May 18, 1964, returned summer of 1983."Ian Reid (Heiltsuk), Clyde Tallio (Nuxalk) and Jennifer Kramer (anthropologist) of the delegation from Bella Bella, Bella Coola and Rivers Inlet communities of British Columbia made the following comments during the Recovering Voices Community Research Visit May 20th - 24th, 2013. The inside of the mask is cedar bark. The group discussed the accuracy of the accession/catalog record. There could have been a possible translation/transcription error; probably originally meant to be 'dancing' mask, not 'davenig' mask. [This error seems to have been fixed]
