This Lekwiltok Kwakiutl mask represents Bookwus, the wild forest monster. The animal-like ears are missing from the forehead. Confiscated in 1922, along with other potlatch goods, the mask was returned in 1979 to the new Kwakiutl museum in Quathiaski Cove, located on Quadra Island, British Columbia.
