The article contains the life story of a female Tungus (Ewenki) shaman and photos of her wearing a copper bear-spirit mask -- the only such photos in existence of a shaman actually wearing such a mask. The ritual mask is worn only once every three years during a special ceremony, and the only previous photograph of this type of mask dates from the mid-1930s, and is not worn by the shamaness in the photo. Dr. Noll and Kun Shi took these photos during their anthropological fieldwork near Hailar, Inner Mongolia, in the summer of 1994.
