Limited edition screen print Haida Box by Jeff Greene with formline designs in Sienna red and black. Bilaterally symetrical design features a frontal image of a creature with human hands and profile bear-like designs at the sides. Possibly a transforming bear although the accompanying description (see note) describes the faces on the end panel as of mousewoman. Crest designs on historic bent boxes were typically ambigious. According to the artist This is a traditional Haida design. It is one of the best I've ever seen. I wanted to do a print of it so that it isn't locked away. Signed by the artist with 7/100 (numbered edition). Condition: excellent.
