Killer whale helmet

Killer whale helmet carved from one piece of wood. The conical hat base is painted with a skeletonized animal design, possibly a wolf or sea lion, in black and green. The animal has eyes two-clawed hands and thin, dual pronged ears. Apart from the animal design, most of the exterior is unpainted save for red paint on the flat top. Atop the helmet, a killer whale crest is attached with the face of a killer whale carved into the lower end. The middle has a hole carved which identifies the whale. The crest is painted red, green, and black. Animal hide straps are attached to the interior to affix the helmet to the wearer's head.
