This work was included in a group of four masks at Western Australian Indigenous Art Awards that were awarded the $50,000 first prize. These headdresses and masks are created using traditional tools and materials such as shell, feathers, seeds, hair, cane, raffia, nuts and ochre. They are a celebration of the living culture of the Torres Strait Islands, and the fusion of its religion, law and art.
