A transformation mask, also known as an opening mask, is a type of mask used by indigenous people of the Northwest Coast and Alaska in ritual dances. These masks usually depict an outer, animal visage, which the performer can open by pulling a string to reveal an inner human face carved in wood to symbolize the wearer moving from the natural world to a supernatural realm. Northwest coast peoples generally use them in potlatches to illustrate myths, while they are used by Alaska natives for shamanic rituals.

- Una maschera trasformante è un tipo di maschera usata dai nativi americani della zona della costa del Pacifico nord-occidentale e dell'Alaska, durante le danze rituali. Queste maschere, scolpite in legno, all'esterno hanno la forma di un animale, che l'esecutore può aprire, tirando una corda, per rivelare la maschera interna, che rappresenta un volto umano. I popoli della costa nord-occidentale, generalmente, li usano nei potlatch per illustrare i loro miti, mentre i nativi dell'Alaska li adoperano nei riti sciamanici. (it)
