Carved paddle painted on both sides; painted black, red and olive green. Eye, feathers, head of an eagle, ovoid body and smaller ovoid with feather shapes painted onto paddle. Rounded grip on end of handle is carved and painted with similar designs.
This canoe paddle was probably made to be sold to collectors. Such works represent one of the last forms of painted art created by artists trained in the late 19th century. Producing souvenirs became a way for painters to continue their traditions during a time of great cultural change.
Attributed to Daniel Houstie, a Heiltsuk artist whose replicas of traditional objects were among the items collected by missionary R.W. Large for the Ontario Provincial Museum between 1898 and 1901.
