The Northwest Coast Sun Mask (often called a "Sun Mask with Rays") is a striking form of ceremonial art created by Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast, particularly the Kwakwaka'wakw (Kwakiutl) and sometimes Haida or other nations. These masks typically feature a central humanoid or bird-like face surrounded by radiating rays that evoke the sun's light and power.
