Box1928.965

Painted wooden box, which the catalogue card notes as a fine specimen . The top of the box has operculum shells set in three groups of six. These shells were originally identified as Cariboo teeth but later corrected by Paul Sant Cassia (081986) to be operculum. The box has substantial painting on two sides, and simple enclosed side profile face designs with thin vertical lines following the corners on the other two. The substantial designs are slightly different on each side, one having black cross-hatching. The designs have thin formlines supported by red secondary lines which are distanced and positioned to give the painting an overall lightness.; Good

DishE 1906.304

On the raven' s head a humanoid face rests, with the arms of the humanoid painted in red round the rim of the bowl, and its legs painted below the raven head. The stance of the humanoid, coupled with the raven head is similar to the steps of the raven dance performed at Winter ceremonials The inside of the bowl is painted red with cross hatching. The eagle or hawk projects on a flange from the rear and is reminiscent of a chief' s frontlet in form. The carving is highlighted with red paint. probably reapplied after the original carving.

Bowl1951.372A-B

A) Large rectangular bowl with the characteristic undulating rim and identical bilaterally symmetrical decoration at both ends. The rim is studded with operculum shells, some of which are missing. The sides have parallel grooves at either end, and a groove following the edge of the rim. The bowl is dark coloured and has traces of grease impregnating the wood. The oolichan grease served in such bowls tends to be absorbed following the grain of the wood, and therefore is more noticeable at the ends of the bowls rather than the centre. As the grease soaked ends dry out there is a tendency for the ends to split, as has happened to this bowl. The splits have been repaired by inserting strips of wood. B) Small rectangular bowl with the characteristic undulating rim. The sides of the bowl are decorated with parallel grooves at either end, and a groove which follows the edge of the rim. The ends of the bowl are decorated with identical bilaterally symmetrical designs painted black and red. One end of the bowl has split.; Good
