The Tlingit-style human face often features distinctive characteristics, including a joined eye and eyelid line and a moustache. These facial features are commonly depicted in Tlingit art and serve as recognizable elements of their artistic tradition. Interestingly, faces resembling this style frequently appear as space fillers in various parts of animal figures, such as the foreheads, ears, and joints, within Northwest Coast art. This artistic convention not only adds intricacy and detail to the overall design but also reflects the interconnectedness between human and animal realms within Indigenous cosmology and storytelling traditions.
