A row of fin-like protuberances along the snout and the scaly designs sweeping back from the nostrils suggest that this mask may represent not the ordinary mythical grizzly bear, but Nunis, the Grizzly Bear of the Sea. The mask is painted in black, red, green, yellow, and white. The jaw is hinged with a cord. When it is opened the teeth, which are all attached to the jaw, are exposed. (Holm, Crooked Beak of Heaven, 1972)
The pigment is black.
This panel pipe characteristic of the work of the mid-nineteenth century resembles the ship-motif pipes of the 1840s. The central element has lost its architectural character and has become a highly stylized decorative element pierced by the bowl of the pipe. Waves run the length of the base and a curious curly-haired dog with human arms and legs sits in the stern. Arching over the bow like a figurehead is a Yankee angel with long, curly hair, whiskers, and feathered wings. (Holm, Crooked Beak of Heaven, 1972)
The paint is black and red.
