Description:
Priced reduced to 345.00....Don't miss this One of a kind North Coast Whaling artifact....Very interesting Fetish acquired from the Haida peoples in 1906. Collector Signed and dated tobacco pouch when acquired. see pics. I believe the name can be read. There are 4 carved bone buttons, 2 trade beads, a cloth signed and dated tobacco pouch, a soft leather pouch, a small tooth from a whale and a metal object/fetish. ( all loose in the bags. I purchased syn. sinew to string beads and tooth ) This a piece acquired by a tribe member in trade or from a battle. I pulled there history up on Google. The Haida people date back 14000 years and were a Viking like people that were found in Canada, and British Columbia and coastal islands off the North Coast.. This all Probably was strung on sinew at sometime as a necklace. I believe this sperm whale Fetish was taken or bartered from an early sailor from a whaling vessel. Lots of info on this interesting culture on Google. email any questions and Good Luck. Soft tobacco pouch reads: Haida NW Coast Whaling Fetish collected 1906 B. S. Rimker with his original tags. This is a truly unique one of a kind documented artifact.
Perfect for your North Coast collection. Check my other listingss for some amazing Inuit Native Ivory carvings. I will consider an offer on one or more of my Ivory listings as well as possible Morgan Silver Dollar lot trade Trade.
