(17.5 cm) Raymond and Laura Wielgus Collection Indiana University Art Museum, 77.25 Though the Tlingit headdress ornament appears human, the short hooked nose identifies it with the hawk, one of several totemic animals that are looked upon as ancestors and with whom clans feel strong spiritual ties. |
