This Canadian postcard from the Kwagiulth Museum and Cultural Centre features a dance mask depicting a mysterious forest creature that lures men, captures their souls and transforms them into other Bagwis. This mask is made of red cedar, horse hide, and horse hair.
This card offers excellent text information:"This was one of the ceremonial artifacts confiscated by the Canadian Goverenment in 1922 and returned to the Kwagiulth people in 1979."
