Large Dzunukwa or Tsonoqua Mask SalmonDzunuk'wa Mask by Calvin Hunt Hand carved in red cedar, this oversized mask is painted in black and red acrylic. Horsehair adorns the face. The inside of the mask has a foam mount that enabled this mask to be danced. The mask is approximately 24" (62cm) in length, 18" (47cm) wide, and 12" (31cm) in depth. In story, ceremony and art, Dzunuk'wa is larger than life. Calvin Hunts sizeable Dzunuk'wa mask reflects the magnitude and import of this
