A spectacular and important carving by a Haida master, now passed away in 2014.  This beautiful Orca Rattle is one of the last pieces by this artist that we are likely to see. Measures 14 x 4 x 9.5 high. Priced at $2600.

Museum-quality carving, impeccable technique! The artist applied a very dark stain and polished it to accentuate the natural grain of the wood. Check out the photos, it’s beautiful.

This Haida artist carved for over 30 years. He was well known for his wood carvings but occasionally he would go home to the Queen Charlotte island (Haida Gwaii) and return with some raw argillite to work on over the course of his career. He is best known for his cedar wood totem poles, talking sticks and rattles. He also developed a magnificent series of limited edition prints.

His work is highly collected and it is extremely rare to find something available.
