Bentwood Box
This type of box is made from one cedar board (steam bent at the corners) and is unique to the art of the NW Coast. Highly decorated boxes like this had several functions. They were used to cook in, using hot rocks as a heat source and to store goods in, such as blankets to keep them dry. |

Opercula Shell, Copper, Polychrome Design - Redtail Hawk
Bowls were carved in great detail and their use was highly ceremonial. Oil made from the candle fish was the primary food served in a bowl like this. I see a lot of redtail hawks and they turn up in many of my designs. |
