Eagle crest headdress with eye inlaid with abalone shell, Tsimshian crest helmets were worn so that the wearers face was exposed. Thus the relationship between the owner and his crest was clearly stated. The smooth surfaces of this mask were achieved by using shark skin as an abrasive. Detail. Northwest Coast of America. Tsimshian.
