Spirit of Thunderbird MaskThis Spirit of Thunderbird mask has been hand carved by Nuu Chah Nulth artist Tim Paul. It has been carved in red cedar, painted in white and black acrylic, and has been signed and dated by the artist. The Thunderbird Symbol represents power, protection, and strength. He is often seen as the most powerful of all spirits and can also transform into human form by opening his head up like a mask and taking his feathers off as if they were a mere blanket.
