Beau Dick (Kwakwaka'wakw, 1955–2017) Kingfisher Mask 1998 Carved red cedar, acrylic paint, shredded red cedar bark, and abalone shell inlay Hand-signed, titled, and dated by the artist (verso) 27 × 11.5 × 10 in. (68.6 × 29.2 × 25.4 cm) Carved in 1998, this Kingfisher Mask by Chief Beau Dick (Walas Gwayum) exemplifies the artist's legendary command of Kwakwaka'wakw sculptural forms and traditional crest iconography. The mask features the kingfisher's characteristic elongated beak, dynamic crest fins, and crisp formline features painted in a sophisticated palette of slate grey, black, and natural unpainted cedar. The upper crown is elevated with square inlays of iridescent abalone shell, while a lush fringe of shredded red cedar bark surrounds the head, imbuing the sculpture with ceremonial vitality and tactile richness.
