Wolf Headdress

Wolf masks or headdresses are used in the Wolf Dance, a secret society initiation ritual. This ritual bestows upon the initiate the powers of the wolf spirit which is respected for its wisdom and courage. The headdress represents the spirit and may only be worn by those who have been initiated.

Secret society ritual.

Wolf headdress is natural in colour with a long blunt red snout that curves upward showing carved white teeth. The white oval eye with a rounded slit in relief is enclosed in a black oval outline. Above each eye is a black band. The ears are red, B-like in shape and attached to the headdress with adhesive. The fringe on the top of the mask is made of black and white tufts of fibre.
