Functional carved argillite pipe with three figures. The pipe is asymmetrical.The uppermost figure is a woman with a labret and possibly face painting, she merges with a raven beak and feather design.

Elaborately carved pipe with human and animal figures. One human figure is wearing a European frock coat. Uppermost animal figure has some characteristics of a beaver, e.g. large incisors and cross-hatched tail, yet these are subverted , i.e. the incisors protrude from the lower jaw, and the animal has two tails. Equally the other two figures are nonsensical when compared to crest designs (Gillian Crowther).; Good

This card was designed by Robert Davidson, a Masset Haida artist. The design was taken from a silkscreen print, and used as an invitation to a Memorial Potlatch in Masset in memory of David Adams, 1988. The card was only produced for this purpose, and represents a form of potlatch print; Complete
