Brown Bear Dish - Tlingit. Mid-1800's. Wood, pigment, opercculum, abalone, plant fiber. photo: Rod
Mickens. The food dish carved more than a century ago illustrates a 3-dimentional carved style in the bear's face and front feet. The artist also employed the more complicated 2-dimension "formline" style to show the bear's right and left profiles on the sides of the dish as well as its hindquarters on the rear. |

The mask represents
Kumugwe, an important figure in the myth in the Northwest Coast Kwakwaka'wakw people. Kumugwe rules all the creatures of the sea and the mask includes many from his realm, ranging from a fish attached at the top so that it can spin -- to a green faced octopus in the center. |
