Masks2014121201Today’s Sketches are a couple of northwest coastal masks from Seattle Art Museum’s collection.

From left to right they are

1. Kumkwaml – Underssea chief

2. Nulamala – Fool Dancer

3 Nuxalk – Human bird face

4 Nuxalt – Human face

My apologies when I was transcribing this I realized I didn’t know if the Salish words are the names of the masks or the names of the tribe that made it (though I’m mostly sure on 3 and 4)
