The mask itself is 11" long. The cedar bark adds 3-4" to the length. In Northwest Coast Native culture Raven transformed a flower into hummingbird. He then gave hummingbird a message to deliver to all flowers. When we see hummingbirds flying from flower to flower they are thanking them for adding beauty to the world. They're then rewarded with nectar.
