- Lot Description
Native American, Pacific Northwest Coast (probably southern Alaska), Tlingit people, ca. 1870s to 1880s CE. A beautiful ceremonial paddle, hand-carved from fine-grained cedar, with an elegant presentation. The paddle is composed of an ovoid blade which tapers to a point, a wide shoulder, and a cylindrical handle which gradually flattens and widens to a bar-shaped grip. Each side of the paddle blade is detailed with gorgeous formline carvings which illustrate a raven head with a large, singular eye, a conical beak, a slender body with diamond-shaped grooves, and a feathered tail. The detailing on one side is accentuated with applied red pigment, and the opposite is devoid of all color save for the natural caramel hue of the wood. A fine example of high-quality Tlingit craftsmanship! Size: 5.375" W x 43.625" H (13.7 cm x 110.8 cm).
For a stylistically-similar example of a Tlingit Paddle, please see The Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 2011.154.46: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/319086
