Description :

This wood Salmon Shark Wall Hanging is hand-carved and painted in shades of green, blue, and white. The detailed patterns and vibrant colors reflect traditional Indigenous artistic influences from the region. It does not seem to be signed by the artist.

Note:

The Salmon Shark resembles the great white shark but is closely tied to the salmon, a sacred and vital resource for Indigenous communities. In Indigenous symbolism, salmon often represents abundance, renewal, and the cycle of life. Many Indigenous groups, including the Haida, Tlingit, and Kwakwaka’wakw, incorporate salmon imagery into their carvings, masks, and totem poles. Traditional Pacific Northwest carvings are often made from cedar wood, a material revered for its durability and spiritual significance. Artists use bold colors, intricate patterns, and stylized forms to convey meaning, often incorporating elements like sharks, ravens, or orcas, which symbolize transformation, protection, and family


Dimensions : 26 in L x 12 in H x 2 in D
