Exhibit Label
In the Spirit of the Ancestors-Ravenstail weaving is an ancient weaving style that fell from use in the early 19th century after the more complex Chilkat technique was invented. The revival of Ravenstail weaving in the 1980s was led by Cheryl Samuel, a weaver who studied with Bill Holm at the Burke Museum. This robe was inspired by a piece in the Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography in St. Petersburg, Russia.
