Panel Item Number: Z 34990 from the MAA: University of Cambridge
Description
This carving is more of a panel than a pipe because it lacks a bowl and any form of mouthpiece. The panel depicts a European on one side of an architectural structure with a dog (?) on the otherside. The structure is inlaid with bone. There is foliage and a tree represented on the panel.; Good
Context
The original European tribal names and, where possible, current tribal names have both been given in separate GLT fields.; The style and subject matter of this object conforms to those of the Second Period of argillite carving, 1830 -1865. This was the time when the Haida confidently depicted aspects of European culture created in a uniquely Haida medium and expressed with the characteristic detail of observation. The types of objects are ship pipes, European standing figures, western tableware, flutes and trade pipes. (The time periods of argillite carving are derived from Carol Sheehan' s Pipes That Won' t Smoke; Coal That Won' t Burn; Haida Sculpture in Argillite, 1981, Glenbow Museum: Calgary, and Peter Macnair and Alan Hoover' s The Magic Leaves, 1984, British Columbian Provincial Museum: Victoria.)
