    Description

    This is a beautiful example of West Coast indigenous craftsmanship. Carved from red cedar and meticulously painted, these pieces have survived in tact after quite a few years. I am not an expert but I would assume that these carvings are from the 60’s because no motorized tool markings are visible. Even the back shows that the wood was split by axe or wedge without being planed or sanded by belt sander. The paint used here is also of older stock which makes me think they are at least from the 60’s. They are each 18.5 inches high and 5.5 inches at the widest section. Great conversation pieces.
