- Lot Description
Native American, Northwest Coast, Canada, British Columbia, Haida, ca. 1930s CE. A hand carved red cedar miniature dugout canoe complete with three rowing warriors! The boat rests on a flat base with a characteristic upturned prow. The three men sit on low benches with their arms raised ready to row. Three separate paddles are included for them to use but are perhaps not be original to this model. The pretty natural graining of the wood is unpainted, but for some black pigments on the warriors' heads as minimalist facial features. The pointed prow was to break any swells and would be painted with the crests of the chief. Originally such canoes would be 30 to 40 feet in length! These boats were vital to the Haida way of life, providing transportation, fishing, and vehicles for warfare. The introduction of European styles of ships with sails replaced the traditional style of war canoes. This model is a wonderful example of the craftsmanship that would have also been necessary to make the original canoes. Size: 24" L x 5.25" W x 6.5" H (61 cm x 13.3 cm x 16.5 cm)
