The catalogue card states this is a headdress, however it is more likely to be a epaulette which was worn on the shoulder (G.Crowther). The epaulette is carved in the form of a killerwhale fin, with a humanoid face at its base. The fin has two holes along its length and three painted bands of black. The face at the base is in profile, and has prominent black eyebrows, a greenish eye-socket, black eyes, and red paint accentuating the nostrils, cheeks and lips. the face is carved and painted. It is virtually identical to 1885.66.5, except the holes cut through the fin are painted red, and it is slightly smaller.; Good
