Tony Hunt Puppet, 1970	This puppet was made for a ceremonial performance in March, 1970. By almost invisible nylon strings, it can be made to rise from a plywood box with a hinged lid that looks like an ordinary bentwood storage box. The head moves from side to side; the arms are also articulated. Such puppets are theatrical props of the tuxw’id dancer, whose exploits are designed to astonish the audience. RBCM 6491.

Tony Hunt Mask, 1967	This mask represents a Cannibal Bee. It uses traditional materials (Western Red cedar, a Cougar pelt) but also adds non-traditional components: plastic sunglass lenses form the eyes. These lenses glowed by the light of the fire in the dance house when the mask was danced. RBCM 12731.
Tony Hunt Mask, 1967	This is a Speaker’s mask and represents a human face. Although the eyes are pierced, the back of the mask is not hollowed out for wearing. It was made for sale rather than for ceremonial use. RBCM 18913.
