Model Whale97

This model whale is one of the more naturalistically carved in Northwest Coast art. Even if it represents a minke whale, the smallest of the fin-backed baleen whales known to the Makah, it is only half as long as it ought to be in relation to the model canoe it accompanies. (Holm, Spirit and Ancestor, 1987)
