lo'linuxamł (Mask)

Originally belonged to Paddy Mulleet of Blunden Harbour but came to New Vancouver when his daughter married Mike Jacobson (B. Scow, 1966).
Collected by E.F. Meade from trip through Kwakwaka'wakw Islands.

According to J. Seaweed, (1966), this is a lo'llnux ghost dancer mask. B. Scow, (1966), says this is a crying mask, Q'wasumlh.

Mask with skull-like features, black eyebrows, closed crescent-shaped red eyes with small holes drilled in the middle. Two red triangles and a slight peak form the nose, and the mouth is open baring two rows of teeth. Two tufts of black horse hair are attached either side of the head at the top. The remainder of the mask is thinly painted with white paint, giving it an overall grey look.
