This tiny figure representing the sea wolf with his prey was probably made by Isaac Chapman around the turn of the century. The mythical sea wolf holding a whale in its jaws and another in its tail is a subject frequently seen in argillite. (Holm, Crooked Beak of Heaven, 1972)

Canoe Bailer4617

Northwest Coast bailers all work on the principle of the scoop rather than of the bucket. Water is thrown out of the canoe rather than dipped out. The bailer is made with a straight edge, which is slid up the inside of the flaring hull, catching the water and flinging it over the side. Bailers of the northern coast resemble sugar scoops; those of the Salish south are either spoon-like with pointed, diamond-shaped bowls, or scoops formed by folding and pleating of red cedar bark. This wedge-shaped style of bailer is unique to the west coast of Vancouver Island and the Olympic Peninsula. (Holm, Spirit and Ancestor, 1987)
