Description
Panel 9 in a series of 20 panels. Drawing of a Tlingit halibut hook. The hook sits in the lower half of the drawing, the leather and thong-wrapped head to the left, barb pointing up toward centre of the image. The shank is carved into a squatting human, arms behind its back, with a snake-like creature sitting atop the head and spanning the body to the hands. A red, black and grey tree branch sits behind the hook. The head-fin of a wolf mask is seen in the upper left corner of the drawing, corresponding with 2980/8 of this series. The monochromatic background shows foliage and a river bed.
