Item Details

Description

Native American, Pacific Northwest Coast, United States or Canada, Tlingit or Haida people, ca. late 19th to mid-20th century CE. A wonderful example of a hand-carved marine mammal bone eagle effigy to use as a protective amulet. The stylized eagle points his head forward his wings folded to his sides and lightly incised with circular and linear motifs. Clasped in his talons is a fish, symbolizing a successful hunt and imbuing the owner of the amulet with this fierce hunter vitality. Carvings without suspension holes were often tucked into clothing of shamans or other tribal people to ensure protection and promote healing. Size: 3.75" L x 1.75" W (9.5 cm x 4.4 cm)
