| Commentaires : | Mask danced on several occasions: a potlatch given by B. Taylor in 1948; a dance given by B. Taylor's mother, no date; finally, a potlatch given by George Speck, Patrick Taylor's uncle, in Alert Bay, May 1986. When they were offered for sale to the Museum, their purchase price included funds for a new set of masks to be commissioned from a contemporary Kwagu'l artist. This has allowed the family to continue to display its privilege in ceremony. This mask was made during the period of potlatch prohibition (1884 " 1951) when their use in ceremony was still deemed illegal by federal legislation. |
| Fonctions : | The Hamsalal dancers flit around the floor to a rapid drum beat, "stinging" people who are later paid with special gifts (the stingers are missing from this mask). The dance is an inherited privilege passed from one generation to the next within a family. |
