Museum hopes to bring rare mask that inspired Seahawks logo to Seattle

With Seahawks fever again in full swing, Seattle's Burke Museum is looking to bring a native mask said to have inspired the team's original logo to town.

The mask gained attention during the Seahawks Super Bowl run in January, after University of Washington students began researching the origins of the team's logo.

...

Since all of the attention earlier this year, the Hudson Museum has had the mask on display.

Now, the Hudson has agreed to lend the mask to the Burke Museum to display in Seattle. But the museum needs the public's help to get it here.

It's launched a fundraising campaign on power2give.org, seeking $7,500 to pay for conserving the mask, stabilize its movable parts, insurance and shipping.

I'm in for $20.
Even though I won't get to see it. I think it's a worthy cause. Hope it works out and y'all better get by to see it. :{)

Edit: for picture.
Here is a screen shot of where they are at this point in time.
