- Lot Description
**This item is heavy/oversized and will require 3rd party shipping. Please inquire about shipping cost prior to bidding.**
Native American, Pacific Northwest Coast, United States or Canada, Haida / Tsimshian / Tlingit, ca. 1900s. A hand carved wooden statue of a captive witch, in a crouching position, the knees bent and the hands bound behind, and head tilted upward with the long braid hanging down, and an animal emerges from the bound wrists, yanking the hair back. Shamans would capture witches- men or women that preformed malevolent magic against others in the community- and tie them up using torture to force a confession. A carving such as this might aid the shaman in curing those made sick by the witch. Comes in a large glass display case. Size of carving: 6.5" L x 17.5" H (16.5 cm x 44.4 cm); display case: 13.25" L x 13.25" W x 24.5" H (33.7 cm x 33.7 cm x 62.2 cm)
