UNIDENTIFIED TLINGIT ARTIST, Canoe Model, c. 1890

Item Details

Description

UNIDENTIFIED TLINGIT ARTIST
Canoe Model, c. 1890
yellow cedar, black red, and traces of Reckitt’s blue pigment, 3.75 x 17.5 x 3.75 in (9.5 x 44.5 x 9.5 cm)

ESTIMATE: $3,000 — $5,000

Provenance
A Vancouver Collection.

Canoe models have been made over a long period of time, since before Euro-Americans arrived on the coast. Models are a way of encapsulating the essence of a full-size canoe in a smaller package. They probably served this function in teaching apprentices the proper details of canoe appearance before a large canoe was attempted. This painted canoe model features avian-symbolic designs on the bow and stern, and one large ovoid in the middle of each side. The paintings are well executed and give a lightness to the ends of the canoe. The interior has three well-shaped thwarts and a wide plank with a hole (quite a large hole), designed to represent a mast partner. This model does well in conveying the traditional lines and forms that have made this canoe design stand out as one of the finest hand-powered vessels in the world. The sweeping curves of the gunwales on each side have just the right amount of rise in them to emulate the best historical examples.
