Crooked Beak Brooch with Abalone

Also called the ‘Crooked Beak of Heaven’ this mask represents the wild spirit purged from man during the Hamatsa ceremony. A man progresses to full control of himself and therefore is an asset to his community. The Hamatsa society is still flourishing among many Northwest Coast tribes today.
